Liga Primer Indonesia


Liga Primer Indonesia was an Indonesian independent football league held in 2011. It was managed by Konsorsium Liga Premier Indonesia and PT Liga Primer Indonesia and was not recognized by the PSSI. Nineteen clubs took part in its inaugural and only season which was running from January to May 2011. The first kick-off was held on 8 January 2011 in Manahan Stadium, Solo, Central Java. Despite its original full-season schedule, the league was then stopped during the half-season break when Persebaya 1927 was currently leading the table.

History

On 17 September 2010, 20 Indonesian football clubs together with the National Football Indonesian Reform Movement issued a declaration in Jenggala Graha, Jakarta. It was led by Arifin Panigoro, a local businessman. The declaration essentially related to the concerns of the conditions of national football clubs over the collapsing condition of the national football.
The Professional football clubs then took a joint initiative to establish and declare Liga Primer Indonesia in Semarang on 24 October 2010. There are 17 professional football clubs who expressed their will to participate.
The spirit of the club in building Liga Primer Indonesia is also a commitment to improve the standard of football, both organizationally and financially. The league view that the system of capital assistance and revenue sharing system in Liga Primer Indonesia can make the "club financially independent and professional in management."
To achieve independence, Liga Primer Indonesia provides assistance consortium in forms of the initial capital for each participating club. With this assistance, the clubs are expected to run without funds from dependence on fund local Government Budget. The initial capital will vary between clubs according to the audit results that have been held.
Additionally, the LPI embrace the principle of division of revenues in a transparent and accountable to the club participants. According to agreement with the club, LPI revenue sharing will be based on two schemes, namely schemes to league revenues and schemes for income matches.
The inaugural 2011 season started on 8 January 2011. Before, LPI hosted a pre-season competition in Bogor, Solo and Semarang.
On 11 April 2011, the FIFA Normalisation Committee charged with running Indonesian football has officially recognized Liga Primer Indonesia.
