This competition can only be participated by ethnic Chinese clubs and the players must also be of Chinese descent. The winner of this competition received a Trophy from a Chinese businessman, until the Kampioen Wedstrijden Tiong Hoa Committee (CKTH) was formed as a Competition Organization in 1927. From this CKTH, a Football Federation for Clubs of Chinese descent in Java was formed under the name Hwa Nan Voetbal Bond ( HNVB).
At the time of the NIVB competition or after the NIVU was established, when HNVB had merged into the NIVB, ethnic Chinese clubs often won championships under the Federation. Because European Ethnic Clubs focus on organizing, not winning the Championship as the Chinese Ethnic Clubs aim.
The UMS club won the competition in Batavia in the 1932-1933 season, and the ethnic Chinese club several times won the competition under the Surabaya Federation. They even won the soccer championship between clubs on the island of Java. CSC also won the Oost Sumatra Federation (East Sumatra) competition in 1936.
Ethnic clubs of Chinese descent in other Federations also won their respective leagues in several cities such as Buitenzorg (Bogor), Cirebon, Yogyakarta, Malang, Semarang, Sukabumi, and Tegal. Only in Bandung, none of the ethnic Chinese clubs have won the Federation Competition.
As for the Indigenous version of the Inter-Federation Competition (Bond), the first took place in 1930, after the founding of the Seloeroeh Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) in Yogyakarta. This Indigenous Competition can only be participated by indigenous ethnic groups, as is the case with ethnic Chinese descent competitions. This competition became the forerunner of the United Competition in the era of the PSSI Federation and after Indonesian Independence, which subsequently gave birth to the Semi-Professional Competition and the Indonesian Professional Football Competition as it is in the current era.
The indigenous bonds mostly take the name Bond from the name of the region, such as Cahaya Kwitang, Sinar Kernolong, or Si Sawo Mateng. As an example of the formation of the Indigenous Bond in the Dutch East Indies, in 1928 the Voetbalbond Indonesia Jacatra (VIJ) was formed. The establishment of VIJ was a result of discrimination by the NIVB.
VIJ himself had won the 3rd PSSI Championship in 1933. Previously, in Batavia itself, the Djakarta Football Association (Persidja) was formed in 1925. This was followed by the formation of other Indigenous Bonds in various cities in the Dutch East Indies.
PSSI itself, was founded on April 19, 1930 with the initial name Persatoean Sepak Raga Seloeroeh Indonesia before finally changing its name to the All-Indonesian Football Association. Its first general chairman was Ir. Soeratin Sosrosoegondo. PSSI joined the parent Bunia Football Federation, FIFA, in 1952, and the Asian Football Federation, AFC, in 1954, following the disbandment of NIVU which had changed its name to ISNIS, and also after the recognition of Indonesian Independence by the United Nations.
The founder of PSSI, Soeratin Sosrosoegondo, is a Civil Engineering Engineer. Soeratin completed his education at the Technical High School in Heckelenburg, Germany, in 1927. In 1928, when Soeratin returned to the country, he worked for a Dutch construction company, Sizten en Lausada, headquartered in Yogyakarta. There, Soeratin was the only Indonesian who sat on the same level as the Commissioner of the Construction Company. However, because of the high spirit of Nationalism, he then decided to resign from the company.
After leaving Sizten en Lausada, Soeratin was more active in the Movement. As a person who likes to play soccer, he is aware of the importance of implementing the decision points that have been mutually agreed upon at the meeting of the Indonesian Youth at the Youth Pledge, October 28, 1928. Soeratin, sees football as the best forum for sowing nationalism among the youth as a means to promote nationalism. against Dutch colonial power.
