Persis Solo was established on 8 November 1923, Sastrosaksono from the M.A.R.S club and Raden Ngabehi Reksohadiprojo and Sutarman from the Romeo club initiated the formation of the
Vorstenlandsche Voetbal Bond (VVB) as the forerunner of a
football club that is the pride of the people of
Solo. It is based on the belief of the three figures that the game of football can be played by anyone without any certain limitations. On 28 October 1928, VVB reacted to the moment of the
Youth Pledge of 1928, since 1935 then VVB changed its name to
Persatuan Sepakraga Indonesia Soerakarta (Persis). This name change is a form of appreciation for the values of struggle and unity contained in the contents of the youth oath. Informally, the name Persis began to be used by the club. The momentum for Persis Solo's revival was only felt that year. The
local government took them seriously and succeeded in being promoted to the highest caste at the time,
Liga Indonesia Premier Division. Persis Solo was able to produce talented young players at that time, two of whom were goalkeeper
Wahyu Tri Nugroho and defender
Wahyu Wijiastanto. Both managed to enter the
Indonesia national team. Persis Solo became its own strength in
2007–08 Liga Djarum. They brought in big-name players,
Greg Nwokolo,
Harry Saputra,
Rudi Widodo,
Alvin Kie, and
Frank Seator. Unfortunately, being in the highest caste only lasted a short time. In the following season, PSSI compiled the highest level competition under the name
Indonesia Super League in
2008. Persis Solo was only able to finish in 10th place in the western group and failed to survive at the main level. == Grounds ==
