Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Kota Bontang, commonly known as Persibon, is an Indonesian football club based in Bontang, East Kalimantan. They currently compete in the Liga 4 East Kalimantan zone.
Persibon was founded in 1989, officially known as the Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Kota Bontang (lit. 'Indonesian Football Association of Bontang City'), shortly after Bontang was officially declared an administrative city. The club serves as the city's official representative under the auspices of the Bontang City Football Association (Askot PSSI Bontang) and is funded by the Bontang City Government.
The club lacks the impressive track record of its city rivals, Bontang Football Club (formerly PKT Bontang). In the 2004 season, Persibon competed in the East Kalimantan zone of the Liga Indonesia Second Division. They were drawn in Group B (Central Region), alongside Persiku (Kutai Kartanegara), Persikutim (East Kutai), and Persisam (Samarinda). However, Persibon and Persisam withdrew from the competition before they could compete.[2]
In the 2014 Liga Nusantara for the East Kalimantan zone, Persibon again participated alongside eight other teams, namely Persikukar, Persikubar, Persirau, Perselan, KSUS Samarinda, Praja Pemkot Balikpapan, ISI Putra Balikpapan, and PS PU Bontang. The competition was held at the Palaran Stadium in Samarinda.[3]
