History

Persita was first formed in the city of Tangerang on 19 April 1940. It only became an official club after being recognized by the PSSI on 9 September 1953 as their member. [2] In the Liga Indonesia Premier Division era, they were relegated in the 1998–99 Liga Indonesia Premier Division season but got promoted in the next season and clinched the 2000 First Division title. They became runners-up in the 2002 Liga Indonesia Premier Division, with Benny Dollo as coach. [3] Despite losing in the 2011–12 Liga Indonesia Premier Division final to Barito Putera, they were promoted to the Indonesia Super League. [4] After a poor performance in the 2014 Indonesia Super League season, they were relegated to the Liga Indonesia Premier Division. [5]

Stadium

The club used to play their home matches in Benteng Stadium. [2] In 2014, the government of Tangerang Regency started to build the Benteng Taruna Stadium. After the construction was completed in 2018, Persita has been playing their home matches in this stadium. [6]

Supporters

They have around 10,000 fanatic supporters. [2] Some of the famous supporter groups are LBV (Laskar Benteng Viola), La Viola, and North Legion 1953 (Ultras Persita). [1] [7]

Rivalries

Tangerang derby

Tangerang derby is an Indonesian football derby between two clubs from Greater Tangerang (Tangerang City and Tangerang Regency), namely Persikota Tangerang and Persita Tangerang. [8] The rivalry and hostility between these two clubs began with the expansion policy of Tangerang Regency, which then gave founded to Tangerang City. [9] The derby is known as one of the hottest derbies in Indonesian football, but unfortunately it is also known as a very forbidden derby, matches between the two are often postponed, cancelled, and have an impact on clubs losses. [10]

Rivalry with Persija Jakarta

Persita Tangerang has a fairly tense relationship with Persija Jakarta, especially its supporter base. Various clashes between the two supporters often occur, because they are located next to each other. [11]
