Persija Jakarta was formed in 1928 as VIJ Jakarta (Voetbalbond Indonesische Jacatra). The club changed its name to Persija Jakarta in 1964. The club plays some big matches at the Bung Karno Stadium. PERSIJA (PERsatuan Sepakbola Indonesia JAkarta) is an Indonesian football club from Jakarta. It is one of Indonesia's most successful clubs. The club's patron is Sutiyoso, the governor of Jakarta until 2007. Ironically, it was under his tenure that Persija's historic Stadium Menteng was bulldozed to construct a parking lot and cafe precinct. Persija is also known for its fanatical supporters and casual gangs(Jakmania and Brigade Tiger Boys).
