Galatama (an acronym for Liga Sepak Bola Utama Premier Football League) was a semi professional football league in Indonesia established in 1979 by the Indonesian Football Association PSSI. Prior to the establishment of the competition an amateur football league named Perserikatan had existed since 1931. Both Perserikatan and Galatama existed and run in parallel until 1994 when they were both merged to form a new unified league called Liga Indonesia.
