Introduction - Football in the Dutch East Indies

General remark on terminology:
In this introduction, the words "European" and "native" are written between quotation marks throughout, for the following reason: while "European" refers to federations and clubs founded and dominated by the European (mostly but not exclusively Dutch) population, these clubs and federations were not closed to other groups, as "European" clubs fielded Chinese and "native" players and "European" federations included Chinese and "native" clubs in their leagues; on the other hand, while "native" clubs and federations were restricted to people of Indonesian descent (inlandsch in contemporary Dutch), many of the "European" players excluded by these clubs and federations were actually born and raised in the Dutch East Indies (indisch in contemporary Dutch) and thus "native" in the literal sense (and more often than not of mixed European and Asian parentage).

General remark on league tables:
Traditionally, the first criterium for classification in league tables in the Dutch East Indies was not number of points won, but the points per match ratio (as it was in the Netherlands; it again found application a century later in various competitions abandoned due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020); as clubs seldom had all played an equal number of matches during the season, this leads to somewhat unusually looking tables in which clubs may be ranked higher in spite of having fewer points. (At the end of the season, when all clubs had completed their fixtures, the two criteria are of course identical.) The second criterium was (as customary at the time) goal average, which for instance decided the winners of the stedenwedstrijden, the main competition on Java during the colonial era, on four occasions (in 1926, 1929, 1941 and 1948).
As an aside, second place in the 1909 competition for the Coorde-medaille in Bandoeng was decided on goal difference, the first known application of this tie-breaker worldwide. In fact, the first ever competition in which goal difference served as the first tie-breaker was the 1890/91 season of the Eerste Klasse in the Netherlands itself (the first ever official league tournament there); it was adopted as such by the N.V.A.B. at its meeting on 26 October 1890 in Rotterdam, but no clubs finished equal on points at the end of that season and it was replaced by the goal average rule for the 1891/92 season by a decision at a board meeting on 21 November 1891 in Leiden.
Another oddity was the point system used in the local league of Tjepoe (central Java) in the 1939 season, in which the six participating clubs (four from Tjepoe and two from nearby Blora) were awarded two points for a win but none for a draw or loss, thus essentially only counting wins, reminiscent of the original proposal for the Football League prior to its start in 1888. Irrespective of tie-breakers or point allocation rules, in most cities teams having finished equal on points had to play an extra match against each other to settle championship, promotion or relegation issues.

A short history of football in the Dutch East Indies

The turn of the century

The first mention of football in the archipelago originates from Medan. On 16 November 1887, the "Gymnastiek Vereeniging Medan" was founded there, and apart from gymnastics, its members soon began to play cricket and football, later followed by tennis and athletics. As early as January 1890, a team from Penang crossed the Straits to play a cricket match (in the morning, Penang won) and a football game (in the afternoon, drawn). This match predates the first ever meeting of a Dutch club with an English one by more than three years (Sparta of Rotterdam hosting Harwich & Parkeston F.C. on 13 March 1893, losing 0-8) and occurred more than two months before any club in the Netherlands itself met foreign opposition (Concordia of Rotterdam playing Antwerp F.C. on 30 March 1890 in Breda, winning 1-0 against eight (three had failed to travel) mostly British players).
However, after a few years activities ceased, partially because of the foundation of a cycling club (Deli Wielrijders Club) in 1893. Thereupon, little or no football was played in Medan until the foundation of the Sport Club Sumatra's Oostkust (better known as S.O.K. or simply Sportclub) on 1 June 1899. (They even officially joined the N.V.B. (the Dutch federation) during the 1899/1900 season, although they of course did not play any matches in its competitions.)

Meanwhile, the first football clubs on Java were founded in the last decade of the nineteenth century. On 28 September 1893, the Bataviasche Cricket-Football club "Rood-Wit" was founded in the capital and obtained legal recognition (by official approval of its statutes) in May 1894. The club is known to have played cricket matches later that year against the Bataviasche Cricket Club (in existence since the 1880s) but it is unclear to what extent football was played, and in which form (rugby or soccer). On Boxing Day 1896, a football match was played between a Dutch and an English team on the Koningsplein.
In Soerabaja, the first club to be founded was Victoria, reportedly in 1894. Apparently ignorant of the earlier efforts in Medan, [Ber 34], which concentrates almost exclusively on Java, takes this as starting point for football in the colony, although one contribution (Tempo Doeloe, pp. 174-178) reports on football played (in unorganised fashion) in Batavia in the 1880s. The first known match between local clubs took place in July 1896 in Soerabaja (Victoria 6-1 Sparta).
Inspired by Go Ahead from the small Dutch town of Wageningen, home to the national high school for agriculture and forestry, of which many alumni obtained work in the Dutch East Indies, residents from both Malang and Semarang founded a club of the same name in 1898, and now the first meetings between clubs from different towns were organised in eastern Java: Go Ahead of Malang and E.C.A. of Soerabaja visited each other in 1898 and S.V.V. of Semarang travelled to Soerabaja to play Vitesse in May 1899. In contrast, the first ever reported trip of a Batavian club did not take place until April 1904, when B.V.C. visited their namesakes from Bandoeng, founded in 1900.

The organisation of city championships is first reported in the first decade of the twentieth century (Soerabaja 1902, Batavia 1904, Bandoeng 1905, Semarang 1906 and Medan 1907), and at the same time, local and regional football federations were founded (and often dissolved soon after).
Already in those early years dissensions between clubs and officials led to frequent schisms, a curse to burden "European" football in the Dutch East Indies throughout the colonial era: the B.V.B., the local city federation for the capital Batavia, founded in 1906, fell apart in the spring of 1912 and was succeeded by the W.J.V.B. (renamed V.B.O. in 1928), while the O.J.V.B., founded in Soerabaja, the second most important city of both Java and the territory, in 1907, after several earlier organisations had been dissolved, was replaced by the S.V.B. in 1909.
The 1910/11 Droogdokbeker, the Batavian league competition, saw its start delayed by three months due to a conflict on the participation of military players (a substantial factor in the "European" football community on Java) after an army commander had ruled soldiers of different ranks were not allowed to play against each other, apparently due to a number of injuries to army officers incurred at football matches.

Stedenwedstrijden

At the occasion of the Koloniale Tentoonstelling in Semarang in 1914, a football tournament between representations of the four major cities on Java (Batavia, Soerabaja, Bandoeng and Semarang) was organised at the end of August. Bertus Stom, captain of the winning side, Batavia (or more precisely its city federation, the W.J.V.B.), and the first player to hold the Dutch cap record in sole possession, then offered (on behalf of the W.J.V.B.) to play again for the trophy (the silver Koloniale-Tentoonstellings-Beker) the following year in Batavia. In spite of the fact that the trophy was stolen on that second occasion, the competition proved to be a great success, and was held annually ever since, normally at the Pentecost weekend (pinksteren).
After a few years, the sizable Chinese community on Java followed suit and organised a similar event, played between the leading Chinese club sides from the participating cities, which was usually held at the Easter weekend (pasen). It was played for various trophies donated by Chinese businessmen until a committee was formed in 1927 (the C.K.T.H.) for its organisation; in 1930 the H.N.V.B., a federation for all Chinese clubs on Java, succeeded the C.K.T.H.
A third version of the javaansche stedenwedstrijden was established in 1930 after the P.S.S.I. was founded as island-wide "native" football organisation. In fact, already in 1923 inlandsche stedenwedstrijden were organised in Bandoeng, between "native" selections from the four major cities (Bandoeng, Batavia, Semarang and Soerabaja), held in parallel with the "European" tournament in Batavia, but it is not clear who was responsible for the event nor whether any other editions took place; it is only certain 1923 was the first time it was held in Bandoeng.
It should be noted that while the events organised by the C.K.T.H./H.N.V.B. and P.S.S.I. were ethnically exclusive, the original version (organised by the N.I.V.B. after 1919 and the N.I.V.U. after 1935) was not. Not only did the "European" city federations enter selections involving players from all their member clubs, including Chinese and "native" ones; also their "European" member clubs did not refrain from lining up Chinese or "native" players.

The N.I.V.B.

After about two decades of football in the Dutch East Indies, most major cities had functioning federations and leagues, and on April 20, 1919, at the occasion of the sixth edition of the stedenwedstrijden, the football federations of Batavia, Soerabaja, Bandoeng and Semarang founded the N.I.V.B. (Nederlandsch-Indische Voetbal Bond). Its statutes were approved by governmental decree on October 20, 1919 and the N.I.V.B. was admitted provisionally to F.I.F.A. on April 15, 1924, before obtaining official affiliation to the world body on May 24, 1924. (The Dutch East Indies thus became the first Dutch colony to obtain separate F.I.F.A. membership, five years before Surinam and eight years before Curaçao.) One of its first actions was assuming responsibility for the organisation of the stedenwedstrijden, an activity which would eventually lead to its own liquidation.

After half a decade, membership of the N.I.V.B. started increasing. On 8 February 1925, the N.J.V.B. (Noord-Java Voetbal Bond), which had been founded on 27 July 1924 by 11 clubs from Cheribon, Tegal and Pekalongan, joined to enter the stedenwedstrijden. It did so twice, losing a qualifying match for the final tournament to Bandoeng in both 1925 and 1926 before succumbing to financial problems; it was suspended by the N.I.V.B. for failing to pay membership fees and thus excluded from the 1927 edition of the stedenwedstrijden before finally being dissolved in 1930. Next to join were Malang in 1926, Soekaboemi in 1928 and Djokjakarta in 1929. In addition, three federations from outside Java (those of Oost-Sumatra (based in Medan), Makassar (on Celebes) and Bandjermasin (on Borneo)) had joined the N.I.V.B. as donateur by 1930, a status also granted to the Hwa Nan Voetbal Bond (H.N.V.B., the Chinese federation based in Semarang, on which more below).

The conflict of the early thirties. The N.I.V.U.

On May 16, 1932, an N.I.V.B. meeting at which a Soerabaja-based notary, Willem van Buuren (a former president of both Vios (a military club from Meester Cornelis) and the W.J.V.B. federation in Batavia), succeeded Dick Veenman from Batavia as president of the federation, decided to move the seat of the N.I.V.B. to Soerabaja, which appears to have caused discontent in Batavia (the two cities entertaining a rivalry not unlike that of Amsterdam and Rotterdam in the Netherlands itself).
In 1933, the new board decided to reorganise the main football event on Java, the stedenwedstrijden, in order to accommodate the increasing number (by then 11) of participating city federations. The new set-up required all city federations to enter a qualifying stage played in regional mini-leagues before being able to participate in the final, 4-team tournament. Batavia opposed the new set-up and withdrew from the competition on December 10, 1933.
The V.B.O. was then suspended by the N.I.V.B. at an extraordinary general meeting in Bandoeng on December 23, 1933, with only Buitenzorg opposing the relevant motion and Soekaboemi abstaining (as both towns are close to the capital, their football federations relied on matches with the major clubs from Batavia to generate income). In turn, Batavia organised an alternative city tournament in which Soekaboemi (which resigned from the N.I.V.B. on March 31, 1934) and a rebel federation (B.V.U.) from Bandoeng entered.
Later in 1934, several smaller city federations resigned from the N.I.V.B., and on December 9, 1934, a year after the start of the conflict, the V.S.O. from Semarang. In January 1935, the B.V.B., the official federation for Bandoeng followed suit, as well as Tiong Hoa, champions of Soerabaja, who were unhappy with the organisation of the regional league (comprising clubs from Soerabaja, Malang, Blitar, Pasoeroean and Probolinggo) established by the N.I.V.B. on Eastern Java after the S.V.B. had halted the Soerabaja league due to a number of conflicts. The Chinese H.N.V.B. left the N.I.V.B. at the occasion of its general meeting at the Chinese stedenwedstrijden with Easter 1935. By June 1935, the N.I.V.B. had only 5 member federations left: Soerabaja, Malang, Djokjakarta, Solo and Tegal.
The federations on Western Java had meanwhile organised themselves (provisionally in the W.J.V.F., the West Java Voetbal Federatie) and managed to stage the stedenwedstrijden in Batavia in 1935, with Soerabaja represented by the S.V.U. (a shortlived rebel organisation whose team consisted mostly of Tiong Hoa players). During this tournament, on June 9, 1935, the N.I.V.U. (Nederlandsch-Indische Voetbal Unie) was founded by the federations of Batavia, Soerabaja (S.V.U.), Bandoeng (the B.V.B.O., formed on February 28, 1935 when B.V.B. and B.V.U. joined forces, and renamed V.B.B.O. on December 15, 1935), Semarang, Buitenzorg and Soekaboemi (with the other relevant city federations on Java joining immediately). Two weeks later, the S.V.B. and S.V.U. reunited (with the S.V.U. being dissolved and all clubs joining the S.V.B. again).
Shortly after it had sent a representative side (roughly corresponding to a Soerabaja city selection, enhanced with a handful of players from Makassar and Malang) to the 1935 Philippines Football Championship, an invitation earned after participating in the 1934 Far Eastern Games in Manila, the N.I.V.B. was liquidated (at the end of July 1935) and succeeded by the N.I.V.U. as the official football association on Java (it was admitted provisionally to F.I.F.A. on May 13, 1936, before obtaining official affiliation to the world body on August 14, 1936). The H.N.V.B. joined the N.I.V.U. as extraordinary member in September 1940.
Regarding the stedenwedstrijden, the main change made by the N.I.V.U. was installing a system of promotion and relegation, with only the bottom (fourth placed) finishers of each year required to enter the qualifying tournament for the next year, and that at a late stage, only playing the winners of the regional qualifying leagues for West Java and Oost Java for the fourth and last spot in the next final tournament.

Chinese football in the Dutch East Indies

While the N.I.V.B. and later the N.I.V.U. had their origins in the "European" population of Java and concentrated their efforts on the "European" federations, clubs and players, ethnically Chinese clubs entered the "European" leagues in many cities as a matter of course, winning championship titles in most of them: U.M.S. won the league of Batavia in 1932/33, Tiong Hoa that of Soerabaja on five occasions before World War II (in July 1939, they even won the Java club championship organised in Soerabaja), Excelsior and Nan Hwa that of Makassar at least five times, and C.S.C. from Medan that of Oost-Sumatra in 1931/32, with their namesakes from Pematang Siantar following suit in 1937/38, to name but the most important leagues; Chinese clubs also won local league titles in e.g. Buitenzorg, Cheribon, Djokjakarta, Kediri, Malang (where Hak Sing Hwee and their successors H.C.T.N.H. dominated the local league), Semarang (once by local club side Union and twice by Pekalongan guest side T.H.H.), Soekaboemi, Solo, Tegal, Tjepoe (both by the local T.N.H. side and by the T.N.H. side from Blora) and Toeloengagoeng; in fact the inland city of Bandoeng is the only major town on Java where no Chinese club came to championship honours.
Following the immediate success of the "European" stedenwedstrijden, a Chinese version was held since 1917, organised by the Comité Kampioenswedstrijden Tiong Hoa (C.K.T.H.) since 1927. It soon became a tradition that the final tournament of the Chinese city matches was played at the Easter weekend while the "European" one followed at Pentecost. In 1930, the C.K.T.H. was reformed as the H.N.V.B. (see above), which joined the N.I.V.B. (as associate member) soon after. The H.N.V.B. apparently never organised any club leagues (its member clubs played in the "European" leagues), though Chinese city federations are documented for both Palembang and Soerabaja (the S.C.V.B., Soerabaiasche Chineesche Voetbal Bond, founded 1924 when leading Chinese club Tiong Hoa had already established itself in the local Eerste Klasse; the S.C.V.B. organised a championship, won by Hak Sing Hwee in 1925).

Of course, the relationship between the "European" and Chinese football communities was not entirely friction free. The first major conflict arose in 1928. At the beginning of the year, Chinese club Tiong Hoa had been suspended for two months by the Soerabaja federation (S.V.B.) following crowd trouble at a match against H.B.S. That suspension had finished before the start of the final tournament of the stedenwedstrijden held at the end of May in Soerabaja (and in time for Tiong Hoa to enter the 1928 Soerabaja league), but out of anger, the club gave permission for matches to be played at its ground at the Cannalaan which were organised with the sole purpose of attracting (Chinese and "native") fans who might otherwise have attended the stedenwedstrijden held simultaneously. That unfriendly act was sanctioned by the N.I.V.B. with a one-year suspension, forcing Tiong Hoa to sit out the 1928 season in Soerabaja. (They would return with a vengeance in 1929, winning the Soerabaja league for the first time in their history.)
An even more bitter conflict arose four years later, again at the occasion of the stedenwedstrijden in Soerabaja. In October 1931, the S.V.B. had withdrawn the press cards for the Chinese newspapers Sin Tit Po and Pewarta Soerabaia following match reports in those papers deemed defamatory and insulting by the S.V.B. board; after a request by the S.V.B., the N.I.V.B. decided on 28 March 1932 to extend this measure to the stedenwedstrijden. Then, the editor-in-chief of Sin Tit Po, Liem Koen Hian, started a boycot movement (supervised by the Comité van Actie Persatoean Bangsa Asia) aimed at dissuading Chinese and "natives" to attend the matches (partially by organising simultaneous matches elsewhere in Soerabaja) and pressurising Chinese and "native" players not to represent their cities; this had a particularly unfortunate effect on the Blitar side making its maiden appearance, as it had to replace more than half of the regular first eleven.

Nevertheless, for most of its existence, the H.N.V.B. was an associate member of the N.I.V.B. or its successor, the N.I.V.U. (it only withdrew from the N.I.V.B. when that organisation was falling apart in 1935). The integration of Chinese football on Java within the "European" structures is possibly best illustrated by the 1941 election of Liem Hwie Giap as president of the N.I.V.U.

"Native" football in the Dutch East Indies

Local "native" leagues had been played since the beginning of the century, often organised by a leading "European" club in the relevant city (e.g. B.V.C. in Batavia and D.S.V. in Medan, who also offered the use of their grounds for the relevant fixtures). Later, "native" clubs proceeded to enter the "European" leagues; in Oost-Sumatra, the "native" club M.S.V. made their debut in the "European" league in 1923 and within a decade, the two "native" clubs M.S.V. and I.V.C. had won the local league (O.S.V.B. Eerste Klasse) on five occasions; by the end of the thirties, only one "European" club (D.L.S.V.) remained in the Eerste Klasse of Medan.
The team representing the medical school Stovia (School tot opleiding van inlandsche artsen) in Weltevreden (a suburb of Batavia), targeted at "native" students, which entered league competitions in Batavia as early as 1904 (first playing as Dokters Djawa, later renamed Stovia) consisted of "native" players as well. In 1910, two "native" clubs, Daja Oepaja and Stovia, were among the nine member clubs of the B.V.B., the then "European" football federation of Batavia. Likewise, in Medan a league was first organised in 1907 and its top level consisted of 3 clubs: "European" Voorwaarts, "native" Maimoen S.C. and Chinese team C.S.C. (the second level contained additional "European" and "native" teams).
It should also be noted that the so-called "European" clubs did not bar other nationalities from playing for them, and the N.I.V.B./N.I.V.U. (the only official F.I.F.A. member organisations during the colonial era) allowed clubs from all nationalities to enter the leagues organised by its local and regional member federations. In all major cities, "European" clubs in the "European" leagues included "native" players, and such players (as well as Chinese ones, and any players from "native" or Chinese clubs participating in the relevant "European" city leagues) were also eligible for the city selections entering the stedenwedstrijden organised by the N.I.V.B. (later N.I.V.U.). The famous Chinese forward Lee Wai-tong, then playing league football at U.M.S., represented Batavia in 1933.

After World War I, "native" city federations were formed in the major cities of Java. Batavia and Bandoeng both had a B.I.V.B. (Bataviasche resp. Bandoengsche Inlandsche Voetbal Bond) in spring 1919; in Magelang, the I.V.B.M. was formed on March 15, 1919 by four clubs (Mosvia, Stormvogels, H.K.S. and Among Rogo), the Voetbalbond Boemipoetra organised matches in Semarang in 1922, the V.V.B. in Solo was founded in 1923 (soon followed by the I.V.B. in the same city), the S.I.V.B. in Soerabaja in 1927 (a local Comité voor Inlandsche voetbalvereenigingen was already mentioned in 1923), and the V.I.J. in Batavia in 1928 (apparently unrelated to the earlier B.I.V.B.); in addition, the P.S.M. in Djokjakarta and the N.V.B. in Bandoeng came into existence during this decade.
On April 19, 1930, seven of these "native" city federations founded the P.S.S.I. (Persatoean Sepakraga Seloeroeh Indonesia): those of Batavia (V.I.J. (Voetbalbond Indonesia Jacatra), later Persidja/Persija), Bandoeng (B.I.V.B. (Bandoengsche Indonesische Voetbal Bond), later Persib), Djokjakarta (P.S.M. (Persatoean Sepakraga Mataram), renamed P.S.I.M. (Persatoean Sepakbola Indonesia Mataram) in July 1930), Madioen (M.V.B. (Madioensche Voetbal Bond), later P.S.M.), Magelang (I.V.B.M. (Indonesische Voetbal Bond Magelang), later P.P.S.M.), Soerabaja (S.I.V.B. (Soerabajasche Indonesische Voetbal Bond), later Persibaja/Persebaya) and Solo (V.V.B. (Vorstenlandsche Voetbal Bond), later Persis). (Some on-line sources erroneously include P.S.M. from Makassar (instead of Madioen) as one of the original seven members; however, membership of the P.S.S.I. was restricted to Java during the thirties. Moreover, the P.S.M. of Makassar did not exist as such at the time; it was then called M.V.B. and in fact a "European" federation with Chinese and "native" member clubs. The seven founding members met in a tournament on the occasion of the golden anniversary of the P.S.S.I. in 1980.)
By May 1939, the P.S.S.I. had twenty member federations; apart from the founding seven (V.I.J., Persib, P.S.I.M., P.S.M., P.P.S.M., Persibaja and Persis) these were: Persibo (Buitenzorg), Persitas (Tasikmalaja), P.S.I.T. (Cheribon), Persibas (Poerwokerto), P.S.K.S. (Keboemen), P.S.I.A. (Ambarawa), P.S.I.Sa. (Salatiga), P.S.I.S. (Semarang), P.S.I.K. (Klaten), K'Satrya (Sragen), R.E.N.S. (Bodjonegoro), P.S.B.I. (Blitar) and Persim (Malang).

Most of the P.S.S.I. member federations organised local club leagues. This is confirmed for the V.I.J. (M.O.S. were its champions in 1931, Malay Club in 1936/37, and Ster in 1937/38 and 1939/40), S.I.V.B./Persibaja (S.E.L.O. were champions 1934/35 before joining the "European" S.V.B. in 1937, Hizboel Wathon in 1939 before joining the S.V.B. in 1941), the B.I.V.B. (the 1931/32 championship was won by R.A.N.) and its successor Persib (1939/40 champions Siap), Persis (Indonesia Moeda were champions 1938, Mars 1939), P.S.I.S. (S.S.S. won at least two titles), P.S.I.M. (both Browidjojo and Hizboel Wathon won multiple titles), Persim (organised a league competition in Malang 1939), P.S.I.T. (Zwarte Ster were its 1934/35 and 1936/37 champions; this "native" club had been among the five founding members of the "European" V.C.O. in 1932 (which replaced an earlier "European" federation, the C.V.B., by then dissolved)), P.P.S.M. (its 1932 champions were Stormvogels) and Persibo (Sangkoeriang were champions 1938/39). In smaller towns, "native" federations (or clubs) entered the "European" leagues, occasionally winning the championship: in Blitar, the "native" federation, P.S.B.I., founded in 1928, won the "European" league on several occasions in the early thirties, P.S.P.I. were champions of Toeloengagoeng in 1933, and in Kediri, P.S.H.W. won the 1939 league organised by the "European" K.V.U.

The P.S.S.I. itself appears to have concentrated on organising "native" stedenwedstrijden between its member federations. A first, unofficial event was held in 1930 at the occasion of the foundation of the P.S.S.I.; after that, the tournament was held each year in parallel with the annual congress of the P.S.S.I.
Even now, most of the teams playing in the nationwide Indonesian league structure essentially correspond to city federations, many based on P.S.S.I. member federations in the colonial era, although some "proper" clubs (such as Arema, Barito Putera and Semen Padang) have remained from the 15-year (1979-1994) period in which a club-based semi-professional league (Galatama) was organised. A number of these city federations entering the national league as club-like entities, such as Persija in Jakarta and Persebaya in Surabaya, organise local club leagues just as the V.I.J. and S.I.V.B./Persibaja did in the 1930s.

Other "ethnic" clubs

Apart from clubs with "European", Chinese and "native" identities, there were also clubs catering to Arabs (e.g. J.A.V.V. in Batavia, Annasher in Soerabaja, Al Ittihad, multiple champions of the "European" competition in Solo, and Al Hilaäl of Pekalongan, champions of Semarang in 1934/35) or Ambonese (e.g. S.V.J.A., Batavia league champions in 1936 and 1937, Mena Moeria in Soerabaja, Jong Ambon in Bandoeng and V.O.P. in Medan) exclusively, as well as clubs connected to the military (e.g. Velocitas in Tjimahi near Bandoeng and a number of clubs called Ajax, Mars or Sparta; in Soerabaja, the navy was represented by Zeemacht). Apart from the Ambonese diaspora (mostly caused by military commitments), also communities from the Minahassa (northern Celebes) and of the Bataks (from Sumatra) were present in various cities on Java and elsewhere and founded their own football clubs entering the "European" city federations.

Finally note that several cities, including at least Batavia, Soerabaja, Bandoeng, Semarang, Malang and Medan, additionally had a Kantoorvoetbalbond which organised leagues between company clubs. These federations were occasionally accused of hidden professionalism by the official N.I.V.B. members (Dutch football was (officially) staunchly amateur until the mid-fifties).

The 1938 World Cup

In January 1937, the N.I.V.U. and the P.S.S.I. signed an agreement in which they recognised each other as the two only top level football organisations in the Dutch East Indies, allowed matches between member clubs and federations of the two organisations, and promised to respect each other's disciplinary decisions (in particular suspensions of clubs or players).
However, new controversies arose regarding the 1938 World Cup, for which the Dutch East Indies eventually qualified, albeit without playing a single qualifying match, after withdrawals by both their intended opponents, Japan and the United States of America. To choose a team, the N.I.V.U. (as F.I.F.A. members for the territory) organised a series of selection matches all over Java between December 1937 and February 1938, without directly involving the P.S.S.I. (although representatives from that organisation attended some of these matches).
The squad eventually chosen consisted entirely of players from N.I.V.U. member federations (reasonably enough given results of matches between representative teams from "European" and "native" city federations); the team fielded against Hungary in Reims included three "European" players (all born in the Dutch East Indies), three Javanese or Sumatran players, including the team's captain, Achmad Nawir, two of Chinese and three of Moluccan parentage. Not considering the last five "Indonesian", the P.S.S.I. accused the N.I.V.U. of "highjacking" the World Cup participation by minimising the number of "native" players and using the Dutch flag (it is not known which flag the P.S.S.I. had suggested as an alternative), and ended the collaboration with the N.I.V.U. in 1939.

World War II and its Aftermath

Following the Japanese invasion in 1942, both the N.I.V.U. and P.S.S.I. were disbanded and sporting activities reorganised under Japanese supervision (apart from the "native" city matches in 1943, no notable football events were organised during Japanese occupation, although in Soerabaja a city league apparently was contested between 1943 and 1945).
After Japanese capitulation, Indonesian independence was proclaimed by Hatta and Soekarno on 17 August 1945. The new Republic of Indonesia was not recognised by the Dutch until late 1949 (sovereignty was officially transferred to the United States of Indonesia on 27 December 1949); the four years in between saw much violence and bloodshed.
For most of the time, the Dutch administration, which returned in spring 1946, controlled the major cities of the country (the main exception being Djokjakarta, capital of the republic), and gradually most of the former "European" football federations were resurrected, including, on 29 December 1946 in Bandoeng, the N.I.V.U.
It organised the 29th edition of the stedenwedstrijden in spring 1947, six years after the previous edition. Another edition followed in 1948 before the N.I.V.U. was renamed V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. (Voetbal Unie in de Verenigde Staten van Indonesië/Ikatan Sepakraga Negara Indonesia Serikat) on 18 September 1948 and as such organised two more stedentournooien in 1949 and 1950. Meanwhile, also the local "European" city federations had started renaming themselves (most adding, like V.U.V.S.I., Indonesian translations of their Dutch names; the only major city federation not to have done so appears to have been the V.B.O.). They kept organising their local leagues, most including a host of temporarily resident military teams.

The transition to the post-independence (and current) "native" city federations differed locally, with three main variants, which we may label M (for Makassar and Medan), S (for Soerabaja and Semarang) and B (for Bandoeng and Batavia).
In some cities (in particular Makassar and Medan, the two strongest federations outside Java) the old "European" federation survived under the Indonesian version of their name (no serious "native" counterpart existed in either city). The same appears to have happened in Malang.
In others (in particular the Eastern Java cities of Semarang and Soerabaja) the "European" federations effectively absorbed their "native" counterparts, taking the "native" name but maintaining the "European" league structure, in which a local P.O.R.I. (Persatuan Olahraga Republik Indonesia - the sports federation of the Indonesian republic, see also the next paragraph) team already competed at the top level in the 1949/50 season (winning the league in Semarang and finishing third in Soerabaja); in Soerabaja, the 1950/51 Persibaja top level consisted entirely of clubs that played in the S.V.B./P.S.S. league in the previous season.
In Western Java, the P.S.B.S. (formerly V.B.B.O.) in Bandoeng was dissolved at the end of 1950 and its remaining four member clubs sought (and obtained) admission to Persib. The last "European" city federation to throw in the towel was the V.B.O. in Batavia, which only merged into Persidja at the end of 1951.

In September 1950, the P.S.S.I. was resurrected (albeit under a slightly different name: Persatuan Sepakbola Seluruh Indonesia) by the transformation of the football department of the P.O.R.I., the Sports Federation of the Republic of Indonesia established by the republican government in 1947; the member associations of the V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. successively joined the new federation and V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. disbanded in 1951 (the Chinese federation H.N.V.B., which had been resurrected on 4 September 1948, followed suit in April 1952). One year later, the P.S.S.I. obtained F.I.F.A. membership.

Disinformation or misinformation elsewhere

If in the above paragraphs there appears to be undue stress on the integration of "native" (and Chinese) players in the "European" federations (undoubtedly, a feeling of superiority by "Europeans" with respect to "natives" (and Chinese) was wide-spread and often publicly expressed), this is partially because of such ludicrous claims on the internet as those made by Safari Sidakaton in PSSI Doelie dan Nasibnya kini..." (and its google translation into English at The past and present fate: PSSI; meanwhile both disappeared from the web but can still be found thanks to the Internet Archive, in both Indonesian and google English); we cite: "Saat itu bangsa Indonesia tidak diperbolehkan bermain sepakbola di lapangan sepakbola Belanda, karena dianggap tidak becus dalam bermain sepakbola secara profesional. Bahkan di tiap pintu masuk lapangan sepakbola Belanda selalu terdapat papan pengumuman besar bertuliskan "VERBODEN VOOR INDONESISCHE EN HOND", yang artinya "DILARANG MASUK BAGI ORANG INDONESIA DAN ANJING".", which google transformed into "At that time the Indonesian people are not allowed to play football on a football pitch Netherlands, for being incompetent in playing football professionally. Even at each entrance of the Dutch football pitch there is always a big billboard that read "VERBODEN voor Indonesische EN HOND", which means "FORBIDDEN FOR PEOPLE OF INDONESIA AND DOG".". Both sentences are verifiably untrue (whether they are deliberate lies or due to glaring ignorance only their author can tell). Professional football was not accepted in the Netherlands until years after Indonesian independence and the billboards (which in correct Dutch should have read "Verboden voor inlanders en honden"; the use of "Indonesiërs" on such a sign would have been highly peculiar, quite apart from the incorrect grammar in the use of both "Indonesische" and "hond") are an invention, apparently based on the alleged existence of a corresponding sign "No natives or dogs allowed" at a club in the British Indies. "Natives" were allowed (indeed encouraged) to play in league competitions organised by "European" clubs such as B.V.C. (Batavia) and D.S.V. (Medan) already before the first World War, and "native" (and Chinese) clubs were fully integrated in many "European" city leagues long before the P.S.S.I. was founded (in 1930, and not 1932 as stated in the cited article, which contains one or more inaccuracies in almost every sentence, as well as some outright lies concerning Tan Malaka). In addition, "native" attendance often outnumbered "European" attendance at league matches, even those featuring two "European" clubs.

Another puzzling statement was made by Eko Nurhuda in his article Rindu Pesepak Bola Tionghoa from April 2011, where it was claimed that "Yang bikin bangga, ketika PSSI didirikan klub-klub milik orang Tionghoa memilih bergabung dengan klub-klub perserikatan di bawah naungan PSSI. Klub UMS bergabung dengan Voetbalbond Indonesia Jacatra (VIJ, kini Persija), sedangkan klub Tionghoa bergabung dengan Soerabajasche Indonesische Voetbalbond (SIVB, kini Persebaya)."; in other words, that the two strongest Chinese clubs, U.M.S. in Batavia and Tiong Hoa in Soerabaja, joined the "native" city federations, V.I.J. and S.I.V.B. respectively. In fact, both clubs played in the leagues of the "European" federations V.B.O. and S.V.B. (and with considerable success, in particular in the case of Tiong Hoa). Only after the war, when the P.S.S.I. was reformed in 1950/51, these Chinese clubs joined the "native" city federations (by then long renamed Persidja and Persibaja), just like the "European" clubs and city federations did at the time.
The same article also implied that "Indonesia" were invited by F.I.F.A. to enter the 1938 World Cup based on the strength of the P.S.S.I. as evidenced by a 2-0 win over Nan Hwa (the Hongkong club better known as South China) in 1937, but that the opportunity was "seized" by the N.I.V.U. Quite apart from the fact that the match in question finished a 2-2 draw, and that at the time "native" representative sides (whether from the P.S.S.I. or the city federations) consistently lost friendly matches against "European" city federations, often heavily, there can be no question of an invitation by F.I.F.A. to the P.S.S.I. in 1937, quite simply because the N.I.V.U. were full members of F.I.F.A., a status the P.S.S.I. did not obtain until 1952. To all intents and purposes, the order of footballing strength of the three federations on Java remained unchanged until the start of World War II: first the N.I.V.B./N.I.V.U., then the Chinese H.N.V.B., and third the P.S.S.I.
Meanwhile a courteous erratum based on the above remarks was added after the original article.


Java Club Champions 1929-1941

On three occasions a tournament was organised between the club champions of the major cities on Java; the first two times in Soerabaja at the occasion of a jubilee of the S.V.B., with the champions of Bandoeng, Batavia, Semarang and Soerabaja entering, the last time in Batavia with the champions of Bandoeng, Batavia and Soerabaja. A tournament planned for the end of August 1935 in Semarang was cancelled. Before, the two competing federations on Java, the N.I.V.B. (affiliated to F.I.F.A.) and the W.J.V.F., had organised (both for the only time in their history) a club league, the N.I.V.B. with 23 clubs from 5 cities in eastern Java, the W.J.V.F. with 5 teams from 3 cities in western Java.

Batavia

On 28 September 1893, the Bataviasche Cricket-Football club "Rood-Wit" was founded in the capital and obtained legal recognition (by official approval of its statutes) in May 1894. The club is known to have played cricket matches later that year against the Bataviasche Cricket Club (in existence since the 1880s) but it is unclear to what extent football was played, and in which form (rugby or soccer). On December 26 (Boxing Day) of 1896, a football match was played between a Dutch and an English team at Gang Scott on the Koningsplein, the English winning 1-0 after the Dutch side had lost a player early on due to breaking his collarbone.
A number of other clubs were founded later in the nineties, such as N.V. (Nimmer Vermoeid), but by the turn of the century reportedly only one club existed in both Batavia (Trappers) and the garrison town Meester Cornelis (S.S.S.). In the first three years of the new century a host of new clubs were founded, including the later local heavyweights B.V.C., Oliveo (Onze leus is voorwaarts en overwinnen), Hercules and Vios (Voorwaarts is ons streven, from Meester Cornelis). Together with Dokters Djawa (later Stovia), these four clubs entered the first ever league competition held in Batavia, organised by the newspaper Het nieuws van den dag voor Nederlandsch-Indië in 1904. It was succeeded by the competition for the Droogdokbeker, held since 1904/05 and from 1907 complemented by the Visserbeker which served as a second class feeder.
Initially, the B.V.B. (Bataviaasche Voetbal Bond), founded on 20 July 1906, organised competitions, but it fell apart in March 1912 when four clubs (A.S.V.G., Oliveo, S.C.F. and Vios) left and founded the W.J.V.B. (West Java Voetbal Bond), which was joined by Velocitas and Voorwaarts in April 1912. After Hercules also joined the W.J.V.B. in 1913, the new federation had won the dispute and B.V.C. followed at the end of the year. In 1923, a separate federation for Meester Cornelis (Meestersche Voetbal Bond) was founded, as part of the W.J.V.B., for local clubs too weak to enter the third class of the W.J.V.B. competitions. In August 1928, the W.J.V.B. was renamed V.B.O. (Voetbalbond Batavia en Omstreken).
Since (at least) the 1920 season, when U.M.S. played in the vierde klasse, Chinese clubs entered the league; "native" clubs were part of the league structure since at least 1926, when B.V.V. played in the derde klasse (ignoring the participation of Dokters Djawa/Stovia in the leagues between 1904 and 1912).
After the second World War, the V.B.O. was the last "European" city federation to disappear, merging into Persidja at the end of 1951.

    1933, 1934, 1937, 1938, and 1949; however, U.M.S. only won the league once
    before World War II, in the 1932/33 season (in both 1933/34 and 1936/37 U.M.S.
    finished last and had to play off against relegation).  Most of the years
    mentioned apparently refer to titles won by reserve sides (e.g. in 1930
    U.M.S. II won the Tweede Klasse and in 1932 U.M.S. IV and U.M.S. V won their
    respective sections of the Vierde Klasse).
    The same page also astonishingly claims the V.B.O. changed name to Persija in
    1951 but that of course should refer to the V.I.J., or rather the Djakarta
    section of P.O.R.I., which was renamed Persidja on 24 Sep 1950 (considering
    itself as the successor of the pre-war V.I.J.); the V.B.O. was liquidated in
    1951, with its clubs joining Persidja.

Soerabaja

Victoria, the first reported football club of Soerabaja, was founded in September 1894 (according to other sources: 1895) by a pupil of the local H.B.S. (Hoogere Burger School), John Edgar; in 1896, a second club, Sparta, was founded and those two clubs played the first football match in Soerabaja in July 1896 (Victoria winning 6-1). Soon other clubs followed (among others, S.I.O.D., Rapiditas and E.C.A., with only the latter lasting more than a few years and indeed dominating local football, along with T.H.O.R., for about a decade) and in February 1897 a first local football federation (the first of its kind on Java and in the Dutch East Indies) was founded.
This apparently did not survive long as five clubs (including E.C.A. and T.H.O.R.) founded the O.J.V.B. (Oost-Java Voetbalbond) in August 1902; at the end of the same year, that organisation appears to have been renamed S.V.B., and by October 1903 it is known as the Algemeene Nederlandsch Indische Voetbalbond.
Meanwhile, a championship in knock-out format (seriewedstrijden) was first organised in 1902, with T.H.O.R. defeating E.C.A. (who were considered 'champions' of Soerabaja in 1900, apparently by virtue of remaining undefeated in the regular 'friendly' matches organised locally) 1-0 in the final.
In 1903, E.C.A. won a championship contested by 3 clubs (E.C.A., T.H.O.R. and Voorwaarts), but the format of the competition is not entirely clear; the 1904/05 competition may have been the first league-style championship, but no league appears to have been played in the next two years.
At the beginning of 1907, a second O.J.V.B. (Oost Java Voetbal Bond) was founded, which organised a league in both 1907 and 1908 before, halfway its third league season, four of its seven Eerste Klasse clubs left and founded the S.V.B. (Soerabajasche Voetbal Bond) on 5 August 1909. Both the O.J.V.B. and the S.V.B. organised a league in 1909/10 before the former gave up; its two strongest members, E.C.A. and R.A., were both dissolved and most of their players joined newly formed Quick, who would dominate the S.V.B. league for the next five years. The 1910 league included a military side from Malang, Wilhelmina.
As early as 1908 a Chinese club, S.C.R.C. (Sourabaya Chinese Recreation Club) entered the O.J.V.B. Tweede Klasse, but the first Chinese club to play at the top level in Soerabaja was Tiong Hoa, who joined the S.V.B. in the 1918 season and were promoted as champions of the Tweede Klasse in 1921; at the end of the thirties, Gie Hoo followed them; both clubs provided players for the 1938 World Cup squad of the Dutch East Indies. Ambonese club Mena Moeria were admitted to the Eerste Klasse in 1930, and Selo, champions of the "native" federation S.I.V.B. in 1934/35, were admitted to the Eerste Klasse (by then the second level) in 1937 (P.S.H.W., as Hizboel Wathon champions of Persibaja 1939, followed them in 1941).
The S.V.B. was renamed S.V.B./P.S.S. (Persatoean Sepakraga Soerabaja) shortly after the start of the 1948/49 season before merging with Persibaja (or rather the Surabaja section of P.O.R.I.) and the S.K.V.B. (Soerabajasche Kantoor Voetbal Bond) into Persibaja in the summer of 1950. While the choice of name may suggest that the "native" federation Persibaja absorbed the "European" S.V.B., in fact the 1950/51 top level competition of Persibaja consisted exclusively of clubs formerly with the S.V.B./P.S.S. (H.B.S., P.O.R.I.S. (who had already entered the S.V.B. league structure starting from the 1947/48 season), Tiong Hoa, Excelsior, P.O.M.M. (formerly Jong Ambon), Zeemacht (all in the 1949/50 S.V.B./P.S.S. Eerste Klasse), T.H.O.R. and Assjabaab (the top-2 of the 1949/50 S.V.B./P.S.S. Tweede Klasse)).

Bandoeng

The first known club from Bandoeng is B.V.C. (Bandoengsche Voetbal Club), which was founded in 1900. Sidolig (Spelen in de open lucht is gezond, 1902) and U.N.I. (Uitspanning Na Inspanning, 1903), the two clubs to dominate football in the mountain city during the colonial era, followed soon after.
B.V.C. received their namesakes from Batavia on 3 April 1904 (Easter Sunday), losing 0-4 in (reportedly) the first ever venture by a Batavia club side out of town (as early as 1898, E.C.A. from Soerabaja and Go Ahead from Malang paid visits to each other, and S.V.V. from Semarang were hosted by Vitesse in Soerabaja in May 1899).
On 27 November 1904, following a friendly match between Sidolig and U.N.I., the Preanger Voetbalbond was founded by B.V.C., Sidolig and U.N.I., the first football federation in the city. It does not seem to have played a decisive part in the organisation of the various league competitions in the following years, played for a variety of trophies, including a vaandel offered by the company Hagelsteens and the Coorde-medaille. The latter was first played for in 1906 by five clubs, including two "native" ones, Osvia and Stovio. The 1909 competition for the Coorde-medaille is remarkable as second place was decided on goal difference (rather than goal average), the first known application (to the author) of this tie-breaker worldwide.
The B.V.B. (Bandoengsche Voetbal Bond) was founded in spring 1913 by U.N.I., Sidolig, Roneo (a "native" club), M.B.V.C. (a military side) and D.O.S. (another military side, based in nearby Tjimahi), and started another league competition (involving those five clubs) in July 1913, but it considered 1914 its year of foundation, because of obtaining official government recognition on 11 July 1914.
In 1934, a rebel organisation led by U.N.I., the B.V.U. (Bandoengsche Voetbal Unie) was formed, in parallel with (but unrelated to) the conflict within the N.I.V.B. (of which the B.V.U. never was a member); the B.V.B. and B.V.U. resolved their conflict in February 1935, after which the B.V.B.O. (Bandoengsche Voetbal Bond en Omstreken) was formed, renamed V.B.B.O. (Voetbal Bond Bandoeng en Omstreken) in December 1935.
In 1918, "native" club Osvia entered the tweede klasse (in 1921, they first appear at the top level since withdrawing from the 1909 league competition for the Coorde-medaille), while Chinese side Y.M.C. made their maiden appearance in the derde klasse in 1921, gaining access to the top flight in 1927.
A first "native" federation was mentioned in April 1919, when the B.I.V.B. (Bandoengsche Indonesische Voetbal Bond) asked the city council for permission to use the Tegallega grounds; it was granted that permission in July but no further information on its activities is available, although it presumably was involved with the Inlandsche Wedstrijden in May 1923. A second "native" federation with the same name was founded in November 1928 by seven clubs, viz. T.O.G.I.D.O. (Tot Ons Genoegen Is Deze Opgericht), Osvia (Opleidingsschool voor inlandsche ambtenaren), R.A.N. (Roekoen Anak Negeri), V.E.E.D. (Voor Eer En Deugd), O.V.U. (Onze Vrije Uren), Singkalang and Diana (Doe in alles niet achteruit); this federation was later renamed P.S.I.B. (Persatoean Sepakbola Indonesia Bandoeng) and merged in March 1933 with the N.V.B. (Nationale Voetbal Bond) to form Persib, one of the most successful clubs in Indonesia since independence.
On 30 July 1950, the V.B.B.O. was renamed P.S.B.S. (Persatuan Sepakraga Bandung dan Sekitarnja) but by the end of the year only four clubs (U.N.I., Sidolig, Chung Hua and Jong Ambon) had remained; these decided to liquidate the P.S.B.S. and join the "native" federation Persib.

Semarang

The first club in Semarang appears to have been Go Ahead, which was founded on 30 July 1898. It was to dominate local football for decades, along with S.V.V., founded one year later, and M.O.T. (Moed Overwint Tegenstand, founded in 1904). A first league competition was held in 1906, for a cup offered by the Semarangsche Vélo-Club (a cycling club), before, in August 1907, a first football federation was founded, the S.V.B. (Semarangsche Voetbal Bond); it organised its first league competition in the 1907/08 season.
However, in 1911 the S.V.B. was dissolved due to a cholera epidemy, which caused a police prohibition on the organisation of matches; this prohibition lasted more than a year and during this period, most member clubs failed to pay their membership fees. On 2 February 1912 five clubs (Go Ahead, S.V.V., M.O.T., T.H.O.S. and Union) formed a new federation, the V.S.O. (Voetbalbond Semarang en Omstreken).
For a decade and a half, from the 1926/27 season until World War II arrived in the Pacific, the league included clubs from Pekalongan; the Chinese club from there, T.H.H., won the league twice and the local Arab side Al Hilaäl once. The strongest Chinese club in Semarang, Union, a founder member of the V.S.O., first entered the top level league in 1916, and were Semarang champions once before the second World War.
The V.S.O. (which had been refounded 25 August 1946) was renamed V.S.O./P.S.S. (Perkoempoelan Sepakraga Semarang) in September 1949 and then P.S.I.S. (Persatuan Sepakbolah Indonesia Semarang) on 12 July 1950; the last name change (resurrecting the pre-war P.S.S.I. members from Semarang) involved a merger with P.O.R.I.S., the Semarang section of P.O.R.I., which had already entered teams in the 1949 noodcompetitie; their first side won the league in 1949/50.

Malang

Malang boasted the strongest city selection on Java outside of the "big four", in spite of only twice (1939 and 1940) qualifying for the final tournament of the stedenwedstrijden before the second World War, suffering elimination on goal average on no less than three occasions (1934, 1937 and 1938). The city was represented at the 1938 World Cup by 'keeper Mo Heng, who played for local champions H.C.T.N.H. at the time.
The first club founded in Malang was Go Ahead, in 1898, who went on to play E.C.A. of Soerabaja three times in that same year (twice in Malang and once in Soerabaja). They were followed by Voorwaarts in 1902, M.O.T. in 1904, and the first military club in the town, Wilhelmina, in 1909. Wilhelmina joined the Soerabaja federation, S.V.B., and entered its league and the Robertson Reid cup competition during the 1910 season.
The first Chinese clubs were Kam Soe Twie and Tjoe Kian Hwee, both founded in 1913, and Hak Sing Hwee, who dominated the league in the late twenties, in 1914; all were merged into H.C.T.N.H. 1930.
For such a small though fast-growing town (Malang had 43.000 inhabitants in 1920 and twice as many in 1930), the organisation of local football was perplexingly confusing. The M.V.B. (Malangsche Voetbal Bond) was founded on 7 August 1922 (an earlier federation with the same name had been founded in 1917 with four member clubs, including one Chinese one, organised a league in that same year (single round robin) and requested N.I.V.B. membership in May 1919, but succumbed soon after that). It affiliated to the N.I.V.B. in 1926 (in which year the first ever stadium in the Dutch East Indies was opened in Malang as well, on 2 August 1926) and outlasted two local rebel federations, both called Unitas Voetbal Bond (the first was founded and dissolved in 1926, the second lasted from 1928 to 1929), but was itself dissolved in 1933 and replaced by the V.M.O. (Voetbalbond Malang en Omstreken). One year later, three local clubs withdrew from the V.M.O. and formed the O.J.V.B. (Oost Java Voetbal Bond). All clubs were united again under the M.V.U. (Malangsche Voetbal Unie), founded 11 July 1935.
The M.V.U. (which had been refounded on 23 September 1948) was renamed M.V.U./P.S.M. by the end of 1949. The current Persema list 20 June 1953 as foundation date, but that appears to be incorrect as Persema are already mentioned in newspapers in August 1951 (and on multiple occasions in 1952, most importantly as participants of the 1952 Kejurnas P.S.S.I); presumably they came into being as a continuation of or new name for M.V.U./P.S.M.
The first "native" federation in Malang appears to have been founded in 1933 as P.S.I.M. (Persatoean Sepakbola Indonesia Malang); it was reportedly renamed P.S.T. (Persatoean Sepakbola Toemapel) in October 1934, but in 1937 reference is made to P.S.M., and since 1939 to Persim; presumably, these were all different acronyms for the same federation. Apart from Persim, a second "native" federation was founded in March 1940, Perspi, which proceeded to join the "European" M.V.U.

Oost-Sumatra (Medan)

The first verified mention of football in the archipelago originates from Medan. On 16 November 1887, the "Gymnastiek Vereeniging Medan" was founded there, and apart from gymnastics, its members soon began to play cricket and football, later followed by tennis and athletics. As early as January 1890, a team from Penang, representing the Penang Cricket Club, crossed the Straits to play a cricket match. This took place on the 20th of that month, and while the morning innings was fairly balanced (Penang reached 76 runs, Deli 71), the hosts collapsed after lunch, Penang winning by ten wickets. After that, time remained to play a football game, to the great amusement of the public (tot groot vermaak van het publiek). This match predates the first ever meeting of a Dutch club with an English one by more than three years (Sparta of Rotterdam hosting Harwich & Parkeston F.C. on 13 March 1893, losing 0-8) and occurred more than two months before any club in the Netherlands itself met foreign opposition (Concordia of Rotterdam playing Antwerp F.C. on 30 March 1890 in Breda, winning 1-0 against eight (three had failed to travel) mostly British players).
There are several somewhat conflicting reports on this visit. The Deli Courant of 22 January 1890, two days after the event, reported, on page 7, the result of the cricket match, but unfortunately not that of the football game (which appears to have come about as an ad hoc diversion). An article entitled De voetballers naar Penang, which appeared on 12 February 1904 in De Sumatra post (page 6) on the occasion of the first ever trip of a Deli football team to Penang (see below), singled out a Dutch back called Verhulst, whose defending saved the (apparently goalless) draw, but who died soon afterwards. On the English side, the meeting was recalled in an article entitled Deli in Sumatra. Notes of a Holiday Visit by an Idle Official. in the November 1893 issue of the Fortnightly Review, written by R.W. Egerton Eastwick and cited at considerable length on page 2 of the 28 November 1893 issue of The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser. Its author speaks highly of a "Dutchman, who had never seen cricket before", who suffered a violent attack of fever, months after the match, and was sent to Penang by his doctors, only to die there shortly afterwards. This can only refer to Charles Hugo Verhulst, a structural engineer (he passed his exam as bouwkundig ingenieur in June 1885 in Delft), employed by the Deli-Maatschappij since (at the latest) February 1887, who died in Penang on 23 July 1890, at only 25 years of age. However, Egerton Eastwick's narratory claims the cricket match was played over two days, and that on both a football match followed, Penang winning the first game 7-0 and the second 4-2. Given the report in the Deli Courant cited above, this is either an invention or indicative of a shaky memory. In addition, the statement that the Dutchman in question had never seen cricket before is most certainly incorrect: cricket was quite a popular game with Dutch students in Holland and Verhulst had starred for the H.C.C. (Haagsche Cricket Club) side which won the first ever Nationale Cricket Wedstrijd held at the Malieveld in The Hague in August 1884.

After the foundation of the Deli Wielrijders Club (a cycling club) in 1893, football activities within the Gymnastiek Vereeniging ceased, and little football was played in Medan until the foundation of the Sport Club Sumatra's Oostkust (better known as S.O.K. or simply Sportclub) on 1 June 1899, as recalled in another article in De Sumatra post (on 31 May 1904, page 6: Het 5-jarig bestaan der Sportclub "Sumatra's Oostkust"), which also mentions the draw against Penang.
One of S.O.K.'s early members was Willem "Pim" Mulier, a Dutch football pioneer, who was appointed editor of the Deli Courant newspaper in 1899 and lived in Medan until 1905. In January 1900, the club was granted the use of the Esplanade in Medan; the first match took place on 1 February 1900, when the Sportclub, with Mulier as centre forward, defeated a Langkat English XI 2-0 in Medan after having lost a cricket match earlier that day. Frequent encounters between teams from Medan (usually represented by S.O.K.) and Bindjey (usually represented by Langkat S.C.) followed that first match. On 6 October 1901, S.O.K. hosted a visiting team from Penang, losing 1-4, and in February 1904, a Deli side first visited Penang, losing 2-3 and 1-5 (Penang having been reinforced by a few Perak and Singapore players in the second match).

In 1902, two "native" teams (Zetters Club (also known as Letterzetters) in Medan and Toengkoe V.C. in Bindjey) were formed; these played each other as well as the "European" clubs in friendly matches. In 1905, a Chinese club (Tiong Hoa) followed and several other clubs (including Voorwaarts, as a merger of S.O.K. and its 1904 split-off D.S.C.; in 1911 Voorwaarts merged into D.S.V.) were formed a year later.
A first federation, the D.V.B. (Delische Voetbal Bond) was founded on 16 July 1907 and organised the first regular league with a three-team Eerste Klasse consisting of Voorwaarts ("European"), Maimoen S.C. ("native") and Chinese S.C. In addition, a Tweede Klasse involving seven teams was held. The D.V.B. disappeared after the 1908 season; the leagues in 1910 and 1912 were organised by an ad hoc committee (called Delische Voetbal-competitie) before the omnisports club D.S.V. took over the running of the league with the 1913 edition, adding a separate section for "native" clubs.
The D.S.V. organised local football until the end of the 1915 season, in which the championship included clubs from outside Medan and its immediate surroundings for the first time.
In December 1915, the O.S.V.B. (Oost Sumatra Voetbal Bond) was founded; it was also based in Medan but extended competition to other parts of the Oostkust van Sumatra, most notably Simeloengoen (with main towns (Pematang) Siantar and Tebing Tinggi) and Asahan (with main towns Tandjong Balei and Kisaran). In some seasons, a playoff between the champions of the different regional leagues was organised; in other seasons only the league in Medan (and surroundings) was played and its winners considered overall champions.
In October 1920, a "native" football federation, the Deli Voetbal Bond, was founded; it organised league competitions for about half a decade (won by Soeka Madjoe in the first season, 1920/21), but after the O.S.V.B. started including "native" clubs in its league structure from 1922 on, the D.V.B. slowly disappeared (it is last mentioned in 1925).
The O.S.V.B. was renamed V.B.M.O./P.S.M.S. (Voetbal Bond Medan en Omstreken/Persatuan Sepakraga Medan dan Sekililingnja) in November 1949 and entered the stedenwedstrijden under that name in 1950 (the last edition organised by V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S.), finishing fifth. However, the current P.S.M.S. (Persatuan Sepakbola Medan dan Sekitarnya) retains 21 April 1950 (a week before their first match in those stedenwedstrijden) as its foundation date rather than 1 December 1915 (when the original O.S.V.B. was founded, about three months before the foundation of the P.S.M. (as M.V.B.) in Makassar).

Makassar

The Makassaarsche Voetbalbond (M.V.B.) was founded on 27 February 1916, after the completion of a first league competition which had started in November 1915, and was an associate member of the N.I.V.B. since at least 1929. There were relatively frequent visits from Soerabaja club sides to the Stad der roode vischjes, and Makassar selections toured the Krokodillenstad in 1921, 1933 and 1941.
Exceptionally among the major cities of the colony, it appears the local football federation did not suffer any schisms (although Excelsior withdrew from the federation in 1937, but not for long, winning the league in 1938; earlier Jong Ambon had withdrawn in 1932, attempting to establish an "Indonesische Voetbalbond", but soon returned, albeit under a new name, Zwaluwen) and continues to thrive, as P.S.M., in independent Indonesia (making them the oldest existing city federation in the country (although P.S.M.S. could contest that should they want to), having celebrated their centenary in 2016).
The local league was contested by "European", Chinese and "native" clubs, with all communities earning championship honours.
The federation of Makassar twice entered (as M.V.B./P.S.M.) the stedenwedstrijden, in 1949 and 1950 (the last two editions organised by V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S.), finishing fourth in both seasons. Chinese club side Excelsior entered the 1950 edition of the H.N.V.B. event.

[*] on the occasion of the 1930 title of Chinese side Excelsior, it was mentioned that
    they had thus ended an almost decade-long reign by Vios, suggesting the latter won
    all championships held between 1922 and 1927; in 1927, Prosit were runners-up.

City Competitions (Stedenwedstrijden) 1914-1950

Note all competitions in this section were restricted to Java (with the exception of the 1949 and 1950 tournaments organised by V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S., in which Makassar and Medan entered, and the 1950 edition of the H.N.V.B. tournament in which Excelsior represented Makassar). However, similar competitions were organised in other parts of the Dutch East Indies occasionally, in particular on Sumatra (by the O.S.V.B. for Oost-Sumatra and the M.V.B. for West-Sumatra).

N.I.V.B./N.I.V.U./V.U.V.S.I. | C.K.T.H./H.N.V.B. (Chinese) | P.S.S.I. ("native")

N.I.V.B./N.I.V.U./V.U.V.S.I. Stedenwedstrijden

This was the highlight of the Javanese football season; the winners of the annual stedenwedstrijden were considered the champions of Java (and, by extension, of the colony). The Perserikatan (amateur championship) organised by the P.S.S.I. between 1951 and 1994 in independent Indonesia was a direct successor of this tournament.

It was first held in 1914 at the occasion of the Koloniale Tentoonstelling in Semarang, with winners Batavia earning the silver Koloniale-Tentoonstellings-Beker. Originally, a set-up had been discussed in which club teams would contest the championship of Java. To this end, the champion clubs of Batavia, Soerabaja, Bandoeng and Semarang were to be determined in local competitions, and then contest the overall title in Semarang. At the occasion of the final of the 1913 Globe Bioscope knock-out tournament in Batavia, on May 1st, a golden ball was put on offer by Loa Soen Yang of the Globe cinema for the winners of this "Globe-bioscope-Javakampioenschap". However, by April 1914 this idea had been replaced by that of a tournament between representative selections of the four city federations involved. In addition, two Singapore selections, a civilian and a military one, were to be invited to play a representative team of Java, formed at the tournament, in October and November, still at the Semarang exposition. These would have been the first international matches for any all-Java team, but due to the outbreak of the first World War, Singapore could not send any team.

On the initiative of Batavia captain Stom, the trophy, which had colloquially been renamed Java-Cup, was played for again in the next year, with Batavia hosting the tournament. Batavia won the tournament again, but the cup was stolen in the night after the final. A new trophy was donated by a Soerabaja football fan, Monod de Froideville, first played for in 1916 in Soerabaja. The hosts won and repeated their win in 1917 in Semarang (original hosts Bandoeng having requested a postponement of their hosting right by one year). Thanks to their second win in succession, Soerabaja won the Monod-Beker to keep. Bandoeng sportsman Ernst de Vries then donated a trophy for the 1918 edition in the mountain city, the De Vries-Beker, which was to be kept outright by the first city to win the tournament five times in total or three times in succession, with Batavia fulfilling the latter condition in 1920. At most of the later editions, no cup trophy was at stake anymore, the winning team obtaining a Gouden Kampioens-Medaille (golden championship medal) as well as eleven medals for the players.

Starting with the 1920 edition, the organisation was taken over by the N.I.V.B. (later N.I.V.U.), formed in 1919. After the first two editions, both held in the summer, the final tournament normally took place in the Pentecost weekend (pinksteren). Exceptions to that rule were the tournaments of 1919 (held in the Easter weekend) and 1938 (when the tournament was moved to the end of August due to the World Cup participation of the Dutch East Indies).
Starting from the 1936 (1935/36) edition, the top-3 finishers of the previous edition qualified automatically for the final tournament in the following season, whereas the bottom team had to play off for the final spot against the two winners of the qualifying competition for West and East Java. Also, starting from the 1936 edition the N.I.V.U.-Schild was at stake, kept outright by Batavia following their second successive win in 1939.

The 1941/42 edition was abandoned due to the outbreak of World War II in the Pacific. After the war, the N.I.V.U. was re-established on 29 December 1946, and organised two Stedentoernooien in 1947 and 1948 before changing name to V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. (Voetbal Unie in de Verenigde Staten van Indonesië/Ikatan Sepakraga Negara Indonesia Serikat) in October 1948. Under that name, the last two competitions in 1949 and 1950 (the first to involve teams from outside Java, Makassar and Medan) were played.

After the P.S.S.I. was resurrected in 1950 (by the transformation of the football department of the P.O.R.I. (Persatuan Olahraga Republik Indonesia), the Sports Federation of the Republic of Indonesia established by the republican government in 1947), member associations of the V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. merged with their local P.S.S.I. counterparts and V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. disbanded in 1951.

Chineesche Stedenwedstrijden

Note that the Chinese city tournaments usually involved the leading Chinese clubs from the respective cities, in particular Tiong Hoa (now Suryanaga) from Soerabaja and U.M.S. from Batavia. The final tournament normally took place in the Easter weekend. The first edition was held in 1917; it was played for various trophies offered by private sponsors until the C.K.T.H. (Comité Kampioenswedstrijden Tiong Hoa) was founded in 1927 to organise the matches; it was succeeded by the H.N.V.B. in 1930. The H.N.V.B. was dissolved during Japanese occupation but refounded on 4 September 1948.

    (Stedelijke Combinatie Voetbal Bond) which selected players from 
    the three cities (and one from Toeloengagoeng) to play for the team 
    which represented the B.S.B. (Blitarsche Sport Bond) which had been
    admitted to the N.I.V.B. in November 1931).

Bandoeng         0-3 Batavia

NB: in October 1931, the S.V.B. had withdrawn the press cards for the Chinese
    newspapers Sin Tit Po and Pewarta Soerabaia following match reports in those
    newspapers deemed defamatory and insulting by the S.V.B. board; after a request
    by the S.V.B., the N.I.V.B. decided on 28 March 1932 to extend this measure to
    the kampioenswedstrijden; the editor-in-chief of the Sin Tit Po, Liem Koen Hian,
    then started a boycot movement (Comité van Actie Persatoean Bangsa Asia) aimed
    at dissuading Chinese and "natives" to attend the matches (partially by organising
    simultaneous matches elsewhere in Soerabaja) and pressurising Chinese and "native"
    players not to represent their cities; this had a particularly unfortunate effect
    on the Blitar side making its maiden appearance, as it had to replace more than
    half of the regular first eleven.

NB: Madioen and Solo enter competition for first time ever.

NB: Batavia opposed the new set-up and withdrew from the competition;
    the V.B.O. was then suspended by the N.I.V.B. on an extraordinary 
    general meeting in Bandoeng on December 23, 1933.  Batavia then 
    organised an alternative tournament in which Soekaboemi (which 
    had meanwhile resigned from the N.I.V.B.) and a rebel federation 
    (B.V.U.) from Bandoeng entered.  Eventually, in the summer of 1935 
    the N.I.V.B. was liquidated and succeeded by the N.I.V.U. as the
    official football association on Java.

NB: third participants Malang;

NB: the above matches were organised by the N.I.V.B., which had scheduled the final
    tournament in 1935 for Solo (it would have been Batavia's turn, but the V.B.O.
    had left the N.I.V.B.);
    more matches may have been played but the tournament was cancelled, as more and
    more city federations left the N.I.V.B.: both Bandoeng and Buitenzorg did so in
    the beginning of 1935 and by spring 1935 the N.I.V.B. only consisted of Soerabaja,
    Malang, Blitar, Djokjakarta, Solo and Tegal.
    The V.B.O. then invited the federations of Bandoeng and Semarang as well as
    Soerabaja club side Tiong Hoa, who had left the S.V.B., to participate in a
    tournament in Batavia between the traditional four cities.  On May 12, the S.V.U. 
    (Soerabaiasche Voetbal Unie) was founded in Soerabaja to organise a team for the
    final tournament and join the N.I.V.U. to be founded there.  In the match on May 4,
    Soerabaja was represented by Tiong Hoa, by far the strongest club among the
    founding members of the S.V.U.

NB: at the N.I.V.U. general meeting on 30 Aug 1938 it was decided to admit the
    winners of the Districtstournooi automatically to the final competition;
    because of this, the fourth team in 1938 (Semarang) is exempt from playing
    the Voorronde (Promotie/degradatie-competitie); in the future, the fifth 
    and last team of the final tournament is automatically relegated to the
    Districtstournooi for the next season.

Final Round

NB: was to be played over 6 matches, with 2 voorwedstrijden and a final
    tournament consisting of 4 matches November 23-26 in Djokjakarta (later
    postponed to January 1939 and eventually cancelled due to the withdrawal
    of Tegal and Cheribon).

[Nov 5]
Malang           4-0 Djokjakarta

NB: Tegal withdrew for financial reasons (viz. the costs for the trip to the
    final tournament in Djokjakarta); the result of the match on Nov 6 was
    thus annulled; Cheribon then requested that the result of the match
    between Malang and Djokjakarta would also be annulled, in order to
    "restore equal chances"; the N.I.V.U. of course refused this, upon which
    Cheribon also withdrew, resenting the "preferential treatment" of Malang;
    the N.I.V.U. then decided to organise a second leg between the two
    remaining cities.

Final Tournament

NB: tournament in Semarang; organised by P.S.S.I. (following reformation of P.O.R.I.);
    the P.S.S.I. (Persatuan Sepakbola Seluruh Indonesia) was officially (re)formed on
    2 Sep 1950 under the stipulation that the organisation was not a continuation of 
    the pre-war P.S.S.I. but coincidentally shared its name.
    P.O.R.I. had originally intended to include P.S.M. (Makassar) and P.S.M.S. (Medan)
    as participants (announced mid-July) but this did not materialise.

Original schedule (as announced on Aug 30)

[Sep 2]
P.S.I.S.          -  Persidja
[Sep 3]
Persibaja         -  Persidja
[Sep 4]
P.S.I.S.          -  Persibaja

However, Persib showed up with a team insisting they were Djawa Barat champions and the 
P.S.S.I. decided to change the set-up to knock-out (apparently scheduling Persib to 
play Persibaja on the final day even before the match on Sep 3 was played).

Semifinals
[Sep 2]
P.S.I.S.         0-2 Persib

  [Anda 1-0, Anda 2-0; half-time 1-0]

NB: the above tournament is not included among the official P.S.S.I. championships.

Oost-Sumatra (Gouverneur van Suchtelenbeker) | West-Sumatra (S.W.K. Stedentoernooi)

Oost-Sumatra (Gouverneur van Suchtelenbeker)

The Gouverneur van Suchtelenbeker was a silver cup made in Djokjakarta and offered to the O.S.V.B. (Oost Sumatra Voetbal Bond) by the new governor of the Oostkust van Sumatra in November 1933. Inspired by the popular stedenwedstrijden on Java, the O.S.V.B. offered it to the winners of a competition of city selections, which was organised on five occasions before World War II.

Java - Interprovincial Championship 1939

Introduced in 1939 in order to facilitate the formation of a Java selection, but only held once as the event was no great success (in particular the East Java selection was severely weakened because of the non-availability of most players from the two strongest Soerabaja clubs, H.B.S. and Tiong Hoa) and the relevance of forming a Java selection had become minimal because of the start of World War II in Europe.
