Football activities in Kudus have actually existed since the Dutch colonial era, but there was no organizational forum to oversee it.[3] On the official PSSI Central Java website, it is stated that Persiku Kudus was founded on January 1, 1934.[4] Football in Kudus only had an umbrella organization on April 12, 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 that time served as Dandim Kudus. Since then, Persiku Kudus has become a Bond/Association that oversees all football activities in Kudus Regency. As one of the popular sports, football is a sport that is very popular among the people of Kudus. Football is widely played by the people of Kudus in every corner of the city. Starting from children to adults are very enthusiastic about playing this "round ball". Football becomes a kind of self-identification, social, and cultural process.[3]
