History

The inauguration national governing body for sepaktakraw in Indonesia was firstly found on 16 March 1971, named ‘Persatuan Sepak Raga Seluruh Indonesia’ (PERSERASI), with only 4 founding regional affiliations (Pengda), including: North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Riau and South Sulawesi, with Junus Akbar served as the first general chairman.^[3]^[2] Firstly, PERSERASI did not recognize as the national governing body by the National Sports Committee of Indonesia (Komite Olahraga Nasional Indonesia; KONI) due to a small number of its membership. Until 1979, a total of 14 regional government officials had been formed, as a minimum requirement to be accepted as a member of KONI, the organization consequently launched the first Indonesia Sepaktakraw League, Kejuaran Nasional Sepak Takraw (National Sepak Takraw Championship), in 1980.^[2]

As a member of KONI, sepaktakraw eventually became the official sport in the national multi-sport event, 1981 Pekan Olahraga Nasional (PON XI/1981; 11th National Sports Week), which caused the increase of the region affiliations in the following years. In 1985, there were 20 regional teams competed in sepaktakraw at PON XV/1985, a year after PON XV, a National Championship was held as a selection of players for the 1987 Southeast Asian Games in Jakarta, which was participated by 23 regions.^[2]

In 1986, Marjoeni Warga Negara was elected as the new general chairman and the PERSERASI was renamed to ‘Persatuan Sepak Takraw Seluruh Indonesia’ (PERSETASI, today as PSTI). During the era of Marjoeni, Bali, East Timur as well as East Nusa Tenggara, joined the federation. Later in 1996, Marjoeni Warga Negara was replaced by Beddu Amang. PERSETASI has completely settled in all 27 provinces in his era. Maluku was the last province to become a member.^[2] Usually, a chairperson of the association will be expired from the term of office after completing their four-year term.^[5]

The Sepak Takraw Association of Indonesia was one of the founding members of the Asian Sepaktakraw Federation (ASTAF), and the international affiliation International Sepaktakraw Federation (ISTAF), which was established in 1982 and 1992, respectively.^[2]
