The history of the founding of PSIM began on 5 September 1929 with the birth of a football organization called the Perserikatan Sepak Raga Mataram (PSM). The name Mataram was used because Yogyakarta was the center of the Mataram Sultanate. Then on 27 July 1930 the name PSM was changed to the Perserikatan Sepakbola Indonesia Mataram (PSIM) as a demand for the national movement to achieve Indonesian independence. At that time it was actually an agency for the struggle of the Indonesian nation and state.[2]

After competing for three seasons in the premier division, PSIM again had to be relegated to Liga Indonesia First Division in the 1999–2000 Liga Indonesia Premier Division.[5]

Three years later, in Division 1 Liga Indonesia 2003 PSIM began to rise again and has a target for promotion with a well-prepared team. In the preliminary round, PSIM even beat the favorite team Persebaya Surabaya twice in away matches with a landslide score of 3–1, and 3–0, and won Group C.

In the playoffs played in Solo, PSIM was unable to compete with Persela Lamongan only because of the difference in the number of goals.[5]
