History

Football activities in Kudus have actually existed since the Dutch East Indies era, but there was no organization to oversee it.^[6] It is officially stated that Persiku Kudus was founded on 1 January 1934.^[7] Football in Kudus got an umbrella organization on 12 April 1955 with the establishment of the Indonesian Football Association of Kudus or Persiku Kudus, which was initiated by a TNI officer Major Supardiyono, who at the time served as Dandim Kudus. Since then, Persiku Kudus has become association that oversees all football activities in Kudus Regency. Football became a kind of self-identification, social, and cultural process for the people of Kudus.^[6]
