Persatuan Sepakbola Makassar ('Football Association of Makassar') commonly referred to as PSM Makassar, is an Indonesian professional football club based in Makassar, South Sulawesi that competes in Liga 1. PSM was founded in 1915 as Dutch; Flemish: Makassarche Voetbalbond, making it one of the oldest active national clubs. They are also considered one of the most successful clubs in Indonesia, mostly due to their success in the pre-professional era of Indonesian football. In the 2001 season, they became the second Indonesian club to reach the quarterfinals of an Asian-level tournament, Asian Club Championship. PSM Makassar has won 2 Liga 1 titles and 1 Piala Indonesia in the club history.
PSM Makassar was founded on 2 November 1915 as Dutch; Flemish: Makassarsche Voetbalbond (MVB). They are considered the oldest competitive football club in Indonesia and one of the oldest in the Southeast Asia. MVB changed its name to Indonesian: Persatuan Sepakbola Makassar during the 1942–45 Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies that forced all organizations with Dutch names to be renamed.[3]
Some of the early players of PSM Makassar were regularly called to the Indonesia national football team, the most famous of them was the club legend Ramang. PSM won their first Perserikatan title in 1957 after defeating PSMS Medan. They also managed to win this national amateur championship in 1959, 1965, 1966 and 1992.[4]
After the merger of Perserikatan and Galatama in 1994 that led to the professionalization of teams that once mainly depend on the local government budget, PSM won their first and only national title in 2000. The squad combined national team players such as Miro Baldo Bento, Aji Santoso, Bima Sakti, Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto and Hendro Kartiko, and local talents Ronny Ririn, Syamsudin Batola, Yusrifar Djafar, and Rachman Usman. They won the 1999–2000 Liga Indonesia Premier Division.[5]
PSM Makassar qualified to the 2004 AFC Champions League group stage as 2003 Liga Indonesia Premier Division runners-up. On 5 May, they recorded their first ever win against Vietnamese club Hoang Anh Gia Lai, by 2–0. In the next match on 18 May, the club recorded their second win, 2–1 against Krung Thai Bank. However, PSM finished bottom of the table losing 4 of their matches. In the following year, PSM qualified to the 2005 AFC Champions League, finishing in third place.
PSM Makassar in 2011 joined the breakaway league[6] and continued to play in the Indonesian Premier League organized by PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo until 2013, before joining the Indonesia Super League again in the 2014 season.[7] [8]
In 2019, PSM Makassar qualified for the 2019 AFC Cup after finishing as 2018 Liga 1 runners-up, marking their return to the continental tournament since 2005. The club was drawn in Group H alongside Home United, Kaya–Iloilo Lao Toyota. PSM Makassar finished as group leader with 4 wins and 2 draws, thus qualifying for the Zonal semi-finals and facing off against Becamex Binh Duong. During the second leg, Aaron Evans scored a late minute goal to equalise the aggregate at 2–2, but PSM was knocked from the tournament due to the away goals rule. PSM then won the 2018–19 Piala Indonesia against Persija, 2–1 on aggregate. While en route to the final, the club survived on away goals rule in the quarter-finals match against Bhayangkara, drawing 4–4 and qualifying to the semi-finals against Madura United. The cup win guaranteed PSM Makassar to qualify for the 2020 AFC Cup qualifying play-off where they faced Lalenok United, thrashing them 7–2 in the process. However, halfway throughout the tournament, the matches were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, PSM sacked Milomir Seslija mainly because of the poor performance in the first half of the season.
Under Portuguese coach Bernardo Tavares, PSM performed well in the 2022 AFC Cup where they progressed to the zonal finals, before losing 5–2 to Kuala Lumpur City. However, the progress didn't stop as their second league title came in the 2022–23 season with 22 wins, 9 draws and 3 losses, overall 75 points.[9] PSM qualified for the 2023–24 AFC Cup, being drawn with Hải Phòng, Hougang United, and Sabah. PSM crashed out of the tournament after finishing in third place.
PSM then participated in the revived 2024–25 ASEAN Club Championship, being placed alongside BG Pathum United, Đông Á Thanh Hóa, Terengganu, Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng, and Shan United. PSM played their home matches at the Batakan Stadium in Balikpapan and hosted the opening match of the tournament against BG Pathum United on 21 August 2024, ending as a 0-0 draw.
Home matches were played at the legendary Andi Mattalatta Stadium (also known as Mattoangin), which had a capacity of 15,000 before its demolition on 21 October 2020. The stadium, originally built in 1957 for Pekan Olahraga Nasional IV, was first renovated in 2000 for the 2000–01 Asian Club Championship. Now, PSM plays their home matches at the Gelora B. J. Habibie Stadium in Parepare.
Due to a lack of venues that meet AFC requirements in South Sulawesi, PSM has been playing their continental matches outside the province in recent years, namely at the Pakansari Stadium in Cibinong (2019 AFC Cup), Madya Stadium in Jakarta (2020 AFC Cup), Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium in Gianyar (2022 AFC Cup and 2023-24 AFC Cup).[10]
PSM's most popular nickname is Juku Eja (Red Fish), in reference to the red shirt club has used since its foundation, and Makassar's reputation as a port city. The common home kit includes a red shirt, red or white shorts, and white socks. The crest is also dominantly red with a traditional Pinisi ship. The away kit of the club is associated with a white or black background. Blue was adopted as the club's primary colour for their away kit in 2015.

The most ardent PSM fan clubs are The Maczman and Laskar Ayam Jantan (LAJ). Other supporter groups include Red Gank, Komunitas VIP Selatan (KVS), Komunitas VIP Utara (KVU), and Komunitas Supporter VIP Utama (KSVU). PSM is also supported by people with ethnic or familial links to South Sulawesi province who live across Indonesia due to migration trends.
The rivalry with Persija Jakarta is called the "Red Derby Perserikatan", recalling the Perserikatan era in which they were the oldest teams using red shirts.[13] The rivalry did not reach hostile levels before the establishment of Persija's fan club Jakmania.[14]
