## History

The history of PSIM began on 5 September 1929 with the birth of a football organization called the Perserikatan Sepak Raga Mataram (PSM). The name Mataram was used because Yogyakarta was the center of the Mataram Sultanate. On 27 July 1930 the name PSM was changed to Perserikatan Sepakbola Indonesia Mataram (PSIM), as a demand for the national movement to achieve Indonesian independence.
On 19 April 1930, PSIM together with VIJ Jakarta (now Persija Jakarta), BIVB Bandung (Persib Bandung), MIVB (PPSM Magelang), MVB (PSM Madiun), SIVB (Persebaya Surabaya), and VVB (Persis Solo), attended the establishment meeting of the PSSI held in Yogyakarta.
In the 1970s, PSIM could not do much at the main domestic competition, but they scored the only goal against a semi-professional club from Australia who was on a tour in Indonesia. PSIM participated in Diklat Salatiga and lost the match 1–5. Another achievement was when they defeated the Indonesia national team which was managed by Yanek Marota from Poland in a friendly match at the Kridosono Stadium. The final result was 1–0.
Since the Indonesian league started in 1994, PSIM's achievements have experienced ups and downs marked by the ups and downs. PSIM was relegated in the 1994–95 Liga Indonesia Premier Division and promoted two years later. After competing for three seasons in the premier division, PSIM again had to be relegated in the 1999–2000 Liga Indonesia Premier Division.
Three years later, in Division 1 Liga Indonesia 2003, PSIM began to rise again and had a target for promotion with a well-prepared team. In the preliminary round PSIM beat the favorite team Persebaya twice in away matches with a landslide score of 3–1 and 3–0, and won group C. However, PSIM failed to continue its dominance in the last 8 round. They had to settle for 4th place, and participated in the playoffs. Played in Solo, PSIM was unable to compete with Persela Lamongan.
in 2005, they qualified for the 2006 Liga Indonesia Premier Division after beating Persiwa Wamena at the Jalak Harupat Stadium with a score of 2–1.
