History

Starting from 1914, there was a city championship for the main cities on Java. The first seven editions were played for the De Vries beker, which was to be kept outright by the first city to win the tournament five times in total or three times in succession, with Batavia fulfilling both conditions simultaneously when they won on enemy territory in 1920. The tournament originally featured only the four main cities (Batavia, Soerabaja, Semarang, Bandoeng) but by 1930 included many cities from across the island.

In addition, there were a number of local leagues, lists the following leagues on Java as being controlled by the NIVB (Nederlandsch-Indische Voetbalbond): Batavia (14 clubs), Bandoeng (9 clubs), Soerabaja (12 clubs), Semarang (15 clubs), Malang (8 clubs), Soekaboemi (7 clubs), Djokjakarta (10 clubs); moreover, 3 associations on other islands were subscribed to the NIVB (renamed NIVU in 1936): East Sumatra (based in Medan), Makassar and Bandjermasin. In addition the Hwa Nan FA (based in Semarang), presumably an ethnic Chinese association, was subscribed.
