Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Kota Tasikmalaya Nusantara Football Club, commonly known as Persikotas Nusantara or previously known as Nusantara Lampung, is an Indonesian football club based in Tasikmalaya, West Java. They will compete in the Liga Nusantara.

History

The club was established as Mataram Utama Football Club in May 2022, after Mataram Utama management handed over control to a group of investors who subsequently rebranded the club as Nusantara United Football Club.[1] Mataram Utama still exist, deciding to focus on youth development and their football academy.[2]

On 5 July 2022, in an Instagram post unveiling their new logo, Nusantara United announced that they will represent Nusantara, the future new capital of Indonesia, within the country's footballing pyramid.[3] While the new Capital City of Nusantara in development, Nusantara United has determined to choose Salatiga as a temporary homebase and training camp ahead of the 2022–23 season.[4] However, as the Kridanggo Stadium in Salatiga does not fulfil the necessary requirements to hold Liga 2 matches, Nusantara United plays their league games at the Moch. Soebroto Stadium in nearby Magelang for the 2022–23 season and at the Kebo Giro Stadium in nearby Boyolali for the 2023–24 season and holds their training sessions and operates their day-to-day activities in Banyudono, Boyolali.[5]

Ahead of the 2025–26 season, the club relocated its home base to Bandar Lampung, Lampung and officially changed its name to Nusantara Lampung Football Club.[6]

Ahead of the 2026–27 season, the club license to play in Liga Nusantara was acquired by Persikotas Tasikmalaya,[7] and the club changed its name to Persikotas Nusantara Football Club.[8]
