Liga Indonesia Premier Division

Liga Indonesia Premier Division was the second-tier of the football competition system in Indonesia, organized by the PSSI. The competition started in 1994 as a top-tier division, prior to the formation of the Indonesia Super League in 2008. In its time as a top-flight league, the competition used to be contested by 28 to 36 teams divided into 2 groups. The top four teams from each group would advance to the second stage where they were placed in a group of four teams, with the top two advancing to the knockout stage. After the establishment of the Liga 2 in 2017, the Premier Division was dissolved.

History
In 1994, the PSSI merged the existing Perserikatan and Galatama to form Liga Indonesia. This decision was taken to increase the quality of Indonesian football. In order to do so, PSSI sought to combine supporter's fanaticism from Perserikatan and Galatama's professionalism. The Premier Division was the first-tier in Liga Indonesia. The system stayed put until 2007. In 2008, PSSI formed the Indonesia Super League (ISL), the first fully professional league in Indonesia, as the new top-tier of Indonesian football. The Premier Division was then being relegated to the second-tier. As a result of continuing conflict between PT Liga Indonesia (LI) and PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo (LPIS), there were two different Liga Indonesia Premier Division being organized for 2011–12 and 2013 season, one for the Indonesia Super League and the other for Indonesian Premier League. Starting in the 2014 season Premier Division was organized again by PT Liga Indonesia after the dissolution of LPIS. In January 2017, PSSI renamed the competition from Premier Division to Liga 2 along with the change in the name of the league in the top division from Indonesia Super League to Liga 1. ==First-tier era==
