History edit
Persigar was founded on September 28 1949, originating from Garut and headquartered at Jayaraga Stadium and has the nickname Garut Sheep Warriors. From the past until now, players from Garut have always been the target of foreign clubs. Starting from the era of players in the 1960s, continuing into the era of the 1980s, such as Adeng Hudaya, Uut Kuswendi who played in the National Team and Persib Bandung, or current players in the era of Zaenal Arief, Johan Juansyah, Rudi Geovani, and others. In the 1960s, Garut or Persigar's football achievements made West Java proud. One of them was thanks to encouragement from H. Daim Kusnadi, who was one of the driving forces behind the success of Persigar at that time. At that time, Persigar was just one step away from entering the National League Main Division. Unfortunately luck has not been on Persigar Garut's side. In 1968, Persigar, which was strengthened by Dadeng Sukardi, Anton, Syamsi, Toto Rachmat, Dindin, Masdar, was defeated by PSP Padang with a narrow score of 1-2.Persigar almost experienced a similar achievement in 2002 when Garut was led by the charismatic regent, H. Dede Satibi. In that year, Persigar was coached by Dede Irawan, who was strengthened by Agus Kurnia (current Persigar coach), Edi Hafid Murtado (now a Pelita Bandung Raya player, and several other players. In the preliminary round, Persigar also beat the Persibo Bojonegoro team, which is now in the Indonesian League 3, then Persiba Bantul and PSM Madiun. In 1998 Persigar qualified for promotion to Division I
