From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sriwijaya Football Club, who are commonly referred to simply as Sriwijaya, are an Indonesian football club based in Palembang, Province of South Sumatra, Indonesia. They are now playing in Djarum Indonesian Super-League.
Although being a football representative from the Province of South Sumatra, Sriwijaya was actually founded in Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, as Persijatim Jakarta Timur in 1976. Because of some financial reasons, the club decided to move to Surakarta to become Solo Football Club. (Solo is the alternative name of Surakarta.) The financial condition, however, did not improve until the Province of South Sumatra bought the ownership of the team and renamed the team Sriwijaya.
The supporters of Sriwijaya are known as Sumselmania, who is a merger between two groups of fans, i.e. Sriwijaya Mania Sumsel (SMS) and Singa Mania.
