Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Kabupaten Bogor 1973, commonly known as Persikabo 1973, is an Indonesian professional football club based in Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia.[3] The club set to competes in the Liga Nusantara, the third tier of Indonesian football, following relegation from the Liga 2 in 2024–25 season.

History

This club started from an initiative to participate in the 2015 Piala Jenderal Sudirman tournament with a team that incorporated players from the professional PSMS Medan club into the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI)'s amateur club, PS TNI. After this tournament, PS TNI parted ways with PSMS Medan but decided to become a professional club that combines soldiers with professional players. In March 2016, PS TNI appointed their first professional coach, Englishman Judan Ali and acquired Persiram Raja Ampat, a cash-strapped first-tier team from the impoverished West Papua province, for a cost of 17 billion rupiah.[4][5][6]

For the 2018 Liga 1 season, PS TNI were renamed as PS TIRA to dilute the TNI association and moved to Bantul. The team finished 2018 Liga 1 in 15th position and escaped relegation after securing a vital 3–1 win against Borneo in the last match of the season. PS TIRA later merged with Liga 3 club Persikabo Bogor in early 2019 to form PS TIRA-Persikabo and play at Pakansari Stadium in Bogor Regency.[7][8][9][10]

Ahead of the 2020 Liga 1 season, PS TIRA-Persikabo changed its name to Persikabo 1973.[11] But they used the name TIRA-Persikabo and the same logo for the 2020 Liga 1 season because these changes were not approved by the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI). During its May 2021 annual congress, PSSI said the club cancelled the plan to propose for a name change.[12][13] But they used the name Persikabo 1973 as a commercial arrangement for the 2021–22 Liga 1 season.[14]

In the 2023–24 Liga 1 season, Persikabo were relegated to the Liga 2, with 4 matches left to spare, ending their seven-years tenure in the top division.[15]

In the 2024–25 Liga 2 season, Persikabo were relegated to Liga Nusantara after finishing at the bottom of the Relegation Round, lasted only one-year tenure in the second division. This also marks back-to-back relegations for Persikabo, following their relegation from the 2023–24 Liga 1 at the previous season.[16]
