Liga Primer Indonesia (LPI, sometimes translated toEnglish asIndonesian Premier League) was an Indonesian independentfootball league held in 2011. It was managed by Konsorsium Liga Premier Indonesia and PT Liga Primer Indonesia and was not recognized (initially) by thePSSI.[4] Nineteen clubs took part[5] in its inaugural and only season which was running from January to May 2011. The first kick-off was held on 8 January 2011 inManahan Stadium,Solo,Central Java. Despite its original full-season schedule,[6] the league was then stopped during the half-season break whenPersebaya 1927 was currently leading the table.[7]
On 17 September 2010, twenty Indonesian football clubs together with the Indonesian National Football Reform Movement (GRSNI) issued a declaration in Jenggala Graha,Jakarta. It was led by Arifin Panigoro, a local businessman. The declaration was related to the concerns of the declining state of thenational football.
The clubs then took a joint initiative to establish and declare Liga Primer Indonesia[8] (LPI) inSemarang on 24 October 2010, with 17clubs (out of 20) expressing their will to participate.
The spirit of each clubs in building Liga Primer Indonesia were designed as a commitment to improve the standard of football, bothorganizationally andfinancially. The league views that the system of capital assistance and revenue sharing system in Liga Primer Indonesia could make clubs "financially independent andprofessional inmanagement."
To achieve independence, Liga Primer Indonesia provided assistance forms of the initial capital for each participating club. With this assistance, the clubs are expected to run without dependent from local government budget (APBD). The initial capital will vary between clubs according to the audit results that have been held. Additionally, the LPI embraces the principle of division of revenues in a transparent and accountable to theclub participants. According toagreement with the club, LPI revenue sharing would be based on two schemes, namely schemes toleague revenues (e.g.:sponsor the league,broadcasting rights, etc.) and schemes for income matches (e.g.:local sponsorship, broadcasting rights, tickets, etc.).
The inaugural (and only)season started on 8 January 2011. Before, LPI hosted apre-season competition[9] inBogor,Solo andSemarang.
On 11 April 2011, the FIFA Normalisation Committee charged with running Indonesian football officially recognized Liga Primer Indonesia, allowing the competition and all players involved to be officially recognized by PSSI as well as FIFA and eligible to play in the national team.[10] The league was officially disbanded in August 2011, with last match being held in May; all clubs in it merged with those already inIndonesian Premier League, which used the same acronym in both Indonesian and English,[11] although most of the clubs created specifically for the league disbanded almost immediately.[12]
The only LPI season featured 19 teams, four of the 19 were defected fromPSSI sanctioned league of whom three (PSM Makassar,Persema Malang andPersibo Bojonegoro) defected from the top tierIndonesia Super League, andPersebaya from the second tierLiga Indonesia Premier Division.
