2013 Indonesia Super League
5th season of fully professional football league in Indonesia
The 2013 Indonesia Super League was the 5th season of the Indonesia Super League (ISL), a fully professional football competition as the top tier of the football league pyramid in Indonesia. The season began on 5 January 2013. Sriwijaya were the defending champions, having won their second league title.
This season was also the first season of ISL organized with authorization from the Joint Committee of PSSI until the establishment of a new league.
After the signing of the MoU between Djohar Arifin Husin (PSSI) and La Nyalla Matalitti (KPSI-PSSI) that was initiated by FIFA and the AFC through the Asian Football Confederation's Task Force, now Indonesia Super League was under the control of the Joint Committee to remain manageable by PT Liga Indonesia until the establishment of a new professional competition by the committee.
In the original plan the league season would have begun in November. But to honor the results of the joint committee meeting, the league schedule was postponed. At a meeting with club participants decided that the league would precisely start at 5 January 2013 and end on 18 September of the same year.
Teams
PSMS Medan, Deltras and PSAP Sigli were relegated during the end of the previous season. They were replaced by the best three teams from the 2011–12 Liga Indonesia Premier Division (LI), Barito Putera, Persita Tangerang and Persepam Pamekasan.

Why this record matters
The phrase “5th season of fully professional football league in Indonesia” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2855399. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 2011.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
