Indonesia - Amateur Champions
Until 1979 only an amateur championship (Perserikatan) was played. After the introduction of the semi-professional liGA sepakboLA uTAMA (Galatama), it ran in parallel. In 1994 the Perserikatan was merged with the Galatama to create the professional Liga Indonesia. The Galatama consisted of a single division (with the exception of the 1983 and 1990 seasons when two divisions were held). The Liga Indonesia currently consists of three divisional levels.

In the 2008 season the first level was renamed Liga Super Indonesia.

Since 2011, two competing leagues exist, with the formerly official Liga Super Indonesia functioning as a rival league to the PSSI-sanctioned Liga Prima Indonesia.

NB: the Liga Sepakbola Utama (1979-1994) was semi-professional, 
      the Liga Indonesia (1994-2007) was professional.
    Only the 4th and 13th edition of Galatama were decided by a championship
      final, all others by a double round-robin league system, which was first
      applied for the Liga Indonesia in 2003.
    Since the 2011/12 season two competing leagues exist in Indonesia, with the
      Liga Prima Indonesia being the one recognised by the Indonesia FA (PSSI)
      and the "rebel" Liga Super Indonesia holding on to the former name; a
      number of traditional clubs (Persija, PSMS, Arema) split themselves into
      warring factions and appear in both leagues.
