The 2008–09 Indonesia Super League (also known as the Djarum Indonesia Super League for sponsorship reasons) was the inaugural season of the Indonesia Super League, the top division of Indonesian football. The season began on 12 July 2008 and ended on 10 June 2009.[1] The league was made up of the 18 clubs from Premier Division at the end of the 2007–08 season.

Changes from last season

edit

This season was the inaugural season of Indonesia Super League, the new professional football league in Indonesia replacing Premier Division as the top-tier competition in Indonesia.[2] The league used round-robin format and without zonation (West and East zone) which the champion was generated from the points obtained in the competition.[3]

Inaugural teams

edit

Originally, Persiter and Persmin were qualified as top nine in east region 2007–08 Liga Indonesia Premier Division. But they failed the verification to be inaugural members of the Indonesia Super League and their positions were replaced by PSIS and PKT.[4]

Teams

edit

Eighteen teams were chosen from last season Premier Division results on both competitive and infrastructural aspects. Supposedly, the top nine clubs from each region were qualified. However, two contestants from the East Region, Persmin and Persiter were dropped because they failed to go through the verification. As a replacement, PSIS and PKT were chosen.[5]
