[


Persija Jakarta is formed in 1928. It is then known as VIJ Jakarta. The name Persija Jakarta is only used from 1964 onwards. The club plays some big matches at the Bung Karno Stadium.


Persija Jakarta's supporters called themselves the Jakmanias. They are one of Indonesia's most passionate and fanatical supporters. It is unfortunate that they have a slight reputation of being violent. This is evindent in the 2004/2005 Liga Indonesia final against Persipura Jayapura. Persija Jakarta lost the match 2-3 and the Jakmanias soon turned violent after the match, demonstrating their feelings and venting their anger by ravaging the Bung Karno Stadium.
