Liga 2 (English: League Two), known as Pegadaian Liga 2 for sponsorship reasons,^[1] is the second-tier of the football competition system in Indonesia, organized by PSSI. This competition started in 1994 under the name Liga Indonesia Premier Division (Indonesian: Divisi Utama Liga Indonesia) as the top-tier division in the Indonesian football league system. After the 2008 reforms, the Premier Division became the second tier. Liga 2 started in 2017 as a rebranding.^[2]

Prior to the formation of Indonesia Super League in 2008, the Premier Division was the Indonesian top-flight football league. Along with Indonesia Super League, Premier Division is a fully professional competition. The competition is usually divided into several groups because of factors in terms of geography and number of participants.

History

Divisi Utama era

1994–2008

In 1994, PSSI merged the existing Perserikatan and Galatama to form Liga Indonesia. This decision was taken to increase the quality of Indonesian football. In order to do so, PSSI sought to combine supporter's fanaticism from Perserikatan and Galatama's professionalism. The Premier Division was the first-tier in Liga Indonesia. The system stayed put until 2007.^[3]

2008–2017

In 2008, PSSI formed the Indonesia Super League (ISL), the first fully professional league in Indonesia, as the new top-tier of Indonesian football. The Premier Division was then being relegated to the second-tier.^[3]

As a result of continuing conflict between PT Liga Indonesia (LI) and PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo (LPIS), there were two different Liga Indonesia Premier Division being organized for 2011–12 and 2013 season, one for the Indonesia Super League and the other for Indonesian Premier League. Starting in the 2014 season Premier Division was organized again by PT Liga Indonesia after the dissolution of LPIS.

Liga 2 era

In January 2017, PSSI renamed the competition to Liga 2.^[2]
