History
Following the disbandment of the Liga Primer Indonesia in August 2011, along with the turn of the management of PSSI after a series of chaos over the implementation of the national football competition, a management under the leadership of then-new PSSI chairman Djohar Arifin Husin planned to make various changes intended to create a new competition.
Founding
On 26 August 2011, a member of Executive Committee and Chairman of the Competition Committee of PSSI, Sihar Sitorus, announced that the organization has appointed PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo as manager of professional competition for the 2011–12 season, after the previous promoter, PT Liga Indonesia (PT LI), failed to provide an accountability report to the PSSI, while the verification to be performed by the AFC was imminent.[2] Widjajanto, a former CEO of PT Liga Primer Indonesia, was appointed as the CEO of PT LPIS.[3]
Shutdown
On 17 March 2013, a PSSI Extraordinary Congress announced an unified league, called the Indonesia Super League to be competed by 22 clubs.[4] The Indonesian Premier League disbanded at the end of the 2013 season following its play-offs; IPL's seven best teams were required to pass a verification process to participate in the 2014 season, four of which (Semen Padang, Persiba Bantul, Persijap, and PSM Makassar) were admitted to the successor league.[5]
