Persib Bandung

Founding years (1919–1940)

The roots of Persib can be traced back to Bandoeng Inlandsche Voetbal Bond (BIVB) (Dutch for 'Bandung Domestic Football Federation'), formed on 5 January 1919 in accordance to the findings of a thorough research conducted by historians which were announced in 2023. BIVB was a fusion of local clubs in Bandung such as KBS, BB (Bintang Bandoeng), STER (Steeds trappen en rennen), Diana (Doe is alles niet achteruit), Zwaluw, BIVC, BVC, KVC, VVC, Visser, NVC, Brom and Pasar Ketjil to form BIVB. On October 22, 1928, the club changed its name to Bandoeng Indonesische Voetball Bond (BIVB) following the Decision of the Congress of Indonesian Youth and later became one of the founding clubs of the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) in 1930. On 13 May 1932, BIVB merged with the National Voetbal Bond (NVB) and was renamed Persatoean Sepakraga Kebangsaan Bandoeng (PSKB), but the merger was short-lived and ended due to internal conflict. On 4 September 1932, former BIVB officials held another meeting and renamed it Persatoean Sepakraga Indonesia Bandoeng (PSIB). On 17 December 1933, a second merger initiative was carried out between PSIB and NVB, which led to the formation of Persib on 18 March 1934. Persib won the 1937 Dutch Indies football tournament and reached the finals in the 1933, 1934 and 1936 editions before Indonesia's 1945 independence.
