PSM Makassar has won 2 Liga 1 league title 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 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 Indonesia national professional title in 2000. The squad combined national team players from outside Makassar, such as Miro Baldo Bento, Aji Santoso, Bima Sakti, Kurniawan Dwi Yulianto and Hendro Kartiko, and local talents, such as Ronny Ririn, Syamsudin Batola, Yusrifar Djafar, dan Rachman Usman. They won the 1999–2000 Liga Indonesia Premier Division by only losing 2 from 31 matches.[5]
In 2004, PSM Makassar qualified to the 2004 AFC Champions League group stage as 2003 Liga Indonesia Premier Division runners-up. On 5 May 2004, they recorded their first ever win against Vietnamese club Hoang Anh Gia Lai winning them 2–0. In the next match on 18 May, the club recorded their second winning streak in a 2–1 away win against Thailand side Krung Thai Bank however, PSM Makassar finished bottom of the table losing 4 of their matches. In the following year, PSM Makassar then qualified to the 2005 AFC Champions League. The club did better this time round finishing in third place.
PSM Makassar in 2011 joined the breakaway league Liga Primer Indonesia.[6] They 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 to the 2019 AFC Cup after finishing as 2018 Liga 1 runners-up marking their returned to the intercontinental tournament since 2005. The club was then drawn in Group H alongside Singaporean club Home United, Philippines club Kaya–Iloilo and Laos club Lao Toyota. PSM Makassar then finished as group leader with 4 wins and 2 draws with 14 points thus qualifying to the Zonal semi-finals facing off against Vietnamese club Becamex Binh Duong. During the second leg, Aaron Evans scored a late minute goal to equalise the aggregate at 2–2 but was knockout from the tournament due to the away goals rule. PSM Makassar then won the 2018–19 Piala Indonesia against Persija Jakarta winning them 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 with them 4–4 on aggregate and thus qualifying to the semi-finals against Madura United drawing with them 2–2 thus qualifying them to the final. The win guarantee PSM Makassar to qualified for the 2020 AFC Cup qualifying play-off where they faced against East Timorese club Lalenok United thrashing them 7–2 in the process thus qualifying to the group stage. However, halfway throughout the tournament, the remaining matches were initially suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021, PSM Makassar sacked Milomir Seslija mainly because of the poor performance PSM Makassar had in the first half of the 2021–22 season.
Under Portuguese head coach Bernardo Tavares, PSM Makassar performed well in the 2022 AFC Cup where they progress all the way until the zonal finals before crashing out from the tournament losing 5–2 to Malaysian side Kuala Lumpur City. However the progress didnt stop where Tavares helms the team to win their second league title in the 2022–23 season with 22 wins, 9 draws and 3 losses where the club finished with 75 points in the league.[9] PSM Makassar then qualified to the 2023–24 AFC Cup being drawn with Vietnamese club Hải Phòng, Singaporean club Hougang United and Malaysian club Sabah. PSM Makassar then crashed out from the tournament after finishing in third place.
PSM Makassar then participate in the recently revived tournament, the 2024–25 ASEAN Club Championship being placed alongside Thailand club BG Pathum United, Vietnamese club Đông Á Thanh Hóa, Malaysian club Terengganu, Cambodian club Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng and Myanmar Shan United. PSM Makassar will played their home matches at the Batakan Stadium in Balikpapan and will host the opening match of the tournament against BG Pathum United on 21 August 2024.
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 play their home matches at the Gelora B. J. Habibie Stadium in Parepare due to the aforementioned demolition of the Andi Mattalatta.
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), the Madya Stadium in Jakarta (2020 AFC Cup), and the 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 that PSM 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 once 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), 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, making the club receive support in any Indonesian city with a high concentration of migrants.
The rivalry with Persija Jakarta is very emotional up to now and can be 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]
