Indonesia Football History

        History of Football Indonesia became the desire of many parties to be standardized so that the public get the information that is clear, intact, and scientific. If the history of great kingdoms in the archipelago can be identified, but why football is also no clarity Indoonesia? Unfortunately until now this is still a mystery inexpressible.

       To expose and reveal the history Football Indonesia in shalimow.com done by searching with the engine pencarianpun never get adequate information presented. Likewise, tracing it through the library, ranging from book stores to second-hand bookshop in the area Monday, Jakarta nevertheless still not get important information as well.

       Had thought about by me that maybe there is not any document that reveals a strong validity Football History Indonesia. Or at least the results of historical research on the history Football Indonesia by historians, and so on. And when writing this article I am increasingly convinced of the allegations that the birth of Football History Indonesia does not yet exist.

       Difficulties are bound to occur is not as usual ditemukanya historical documents of ancient relics in the form of temples, written on palm leaves, tools, etc.. Perhaps also because the sport is considered as a social activity that is less important so it is not well documented by our ancestors. Somewhat different from some of the relics of Roman and European history will find activities ynag football.

      The same is true of searches on the history of the emergence of soccer in this earth is still contentious. Several documents explaining the history of world football that was born since Roman times, partly explaining the domestic football comes from China, and so on.

     Bill Murray on the other hand, a football historian, in his book The World Game: A History of Soccer, explaining that the game of football has been known since the beginning of AD, the Ancient Egyptian society are familiar with techniques to bring and kicking a ball made ​​of linen cloth bundle.


In my opinion the tangled threads of the history of football Indonesia could begin to be parsed by examining the documents the history of Indonesia in the Netherlands. According to my analysis of the history of the sport was started by immigrants from abroad, rather than native Indonesia. So some possibilities are:

    1. The merchants of the country around the 7th century AD Chinese who began to enter the kingdom of Srivijaya archipelago, especially in the region. As is known game of Chinese society until the 2nd century BC to the 3rd sports are familiar with a kind of football known as "tsu chu".
    2. Brought into Indonesia by traders from the Netherlands, if their initial entry to Indonesia around 1602 AD then football was born from the development of their trading activities in Indonesia.

Both the possibility of the birth of the history of football over the truth or can be also be a mistake, but no one can justify either case except on the basis of solid historical fact. This is where lies the urgency of execution of tracing the history of Indonesia's national soccer.

We all hope the government through the ministry of youth and sports can also pay attention to this so do not lose the history of the national sport of the torch. Some seminars history or research on this may be very urgent to do so providing some initial point of clarity history of the birth of national football.
