PSM was founded in 1915 asMakassarche Voetbalbond, making it one of the oldest active national clubs. They are also considered one of the most successful clubs inIndonesia, mostly due to their success in the pre-professional era ofIndonesian football. In the 2001 season, they became the second Indonesian club to reach the quarterfinals of anAsian-level tournament,Asian Club Championship. PSM Makassar has won 2Liga 1 titles and 1Piala Indonesia in the club history.
PSM Makassar was founded on 2 November 1915 asMakassarsche Voetbalbond (MVB). They are considered the oldest competitive football club in Indonesia and one of the oldest in theSoutheast Asia. MVB changed its name toPersatuan Sepakbola Makassar during the 1942–45Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies that forced all organizations with Dutch names to be renamed.[3]
Some of the early players of PSM Makassar were regularly called to theIndonesia national football team, the most famous of them was the club legendRamang. PSM won their firstPerserikatan title in 1957 after defeatingPSMS Medan. They also managed to win this national amateur championship in 1959, 1965, 1966 and 1992.[3][4]
After the merger ofPerserikatan andGalatama in 1994 that led to the professionalization of teams that once mainly depend on the local government budget, PSM won their first and only national title in 2000. The squad combined national team players such asMiro Baldo Bento,Aji Santoso,Bima Sakti,Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto andHendro Kartiko, and local talents Ronny Ririn, Syamsudin Batola, Yusrifar Djafar, and Rachman Usman. They won the1999–2000 Liga Indonesia Premier Division.[5]

On 5 May, they recorded their first ever win against Vietnamese clubHoang Anh Gia Lai, by 2–0. In the next match on 18 May, the club recorded their second win, 2–1 againstKrung Thai Bank. However, PSM finished bottom of the table losing 4 of their matches. In the following year, PSM qualified to the2005 AFC Champions League, finishing in third place.
PSM Makassar in 2011 joined the breakaway league[6] and continued to play in theIndonesian Premier League organized by PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo until 2013, before joining theIndonesia Super League again in the 2014 season.[7][8]

During the second leg,Aaron Evans scored a late minute goal to equalise the aggregate at 2–2, but PSM was knocked from the tournament due to theaway goals rule.

While en route to the final, the club survived on away goals rule in the quarter-finals match againstBhayangkara, drawing 4–4 and qualifying to the semi-finals againstMadura United.

However, halfway throughout the tournament, the matches were suspended due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, PSM sackedMilomir Seslija mainly because of the poor performance in the first half of the season.
