A national second-tier league of Indonesian football was initially established as the Liga Indonesia First Division in 1994. Following the formation of the Indonesia Super League in 2008 as the new top-tier competition, the Liga Indonesia Premier Division was relegated to the second tier.[1] Due to conflicts between PT Liga Indonesia (LI) and PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo (LPIS), two separate Premier Division competitions were held during the 2011–12 and 2013 seasons—one under the ISL and the other under the Indonesian Premier League. In January 2017, PSSI rebranded the Premier Division as Liga 2.[2]
