Football Club Bekasi City or FC Bekasi City is an Indonesian professional football club based in Bekasi, West Java that competes in Liga 2 and play their home match at Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium.[1]
History
East Java origin
In 2014, Putra Ijen FC was established in Jember. The club was established in order to participate in Liga 3 East Java.[2][3]
As Putra Sinar Giri FC
In 2018, Putra Sinar Giri FC began participating in the East Java League 3 competition after buying a license from the club from Jember, Putra Ijen FC. The club moved its base from Jember to Gresik. PSG Gresik then promptly joined Liga 3 East Java in 2018.[4] They won Liga 3 East Java for the first time in their history after beating Perseta Tulungagung 5–3 in penalty shootout.[5]
In 2020, PSG Pati began participating in the Liga 2 after Saiful Arifin bought the club's license from Gresik, Putra Sinar Giri FC. The club then moved its base to Pati.[6][7]
Ownership change and West Java move
First season: AHHA PS Pati
In 2021, Atta Halilintar and Putra Siregar bought the majority stake of PSG Pati and changed the club's name to AHHA PS Pati.[8] The club then participated in 2021–22 Liga 2 and barely avoided relegation back to the Liga 3.
FC Bekasi City
In 2022, they decided to move their homebase from Pati to Bekasi and rebranded the club as Bekasi FC.[9] For next season, Bekasi FC will use the Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium, hoping that the new homebase can make the club more successful.[10]
However, the name Bekasi FC has been trademarked by a man named Erick, who promptly filed a lawsuit regarding the usage of the Bekasi FC brand.[11] This forced the club to change their name once again into FC Bekasi City, which was ratified in the 2022 PSSI Ordinary Congress.[12]
