## History

[edit]

Persib Bandung and Persikabo 1973 had actually never met since the Perserikatan era, at that time Persikabo[a] competed in the second or third division in Indonesian football competition while Persib Bandung was in the highest division which made the match not happen.[1]

Then, only in the Indonesian League era which began in 2017, Persikabo Bogor merged with PS Tira in 2019 and formed a new name, PS Tira-Persikabo. In 2020, PS Tira-Persikabo again changed its name to Persikabo 1973.[2][3]

In the first meeting between Persib and PS Tira-Persikabo in the group phase 2019 Indonesia President's Cup, Persib was defeated by PS Tira-Persikabo with a score of 1–2 at Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Soreang. PS Tira-Persikabo's goal was scored by Osas Saha at minute 28 and 70 while Persib's goal scored by Kim Jeffrey Kurniawan at minute 48.[4]

The latest match between the two was played in Fixture 29 of 2023–24 Liga 1. Persikabo lost 1—3 to Persib in Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar.[5] As of present, it was expected to be the last match between the two teams in league competition as Persikabo 1973 had been relegated to Liga 2 by the end of the season.[6]
