Perserikatan Sepakbola Minahasa, commonly known as Persmin Minahasa or simply known as Persmin, is an Indonesian football club based in Tondano, Minahasa Regency, North Sulawesi. The club was established in 1963 and plays its home matches at Maesa Stadium.

History

Persmin was founded in 1963 in Tondano, Minahasa Regency. Over the decades, the club has competed in various tiers of Indonesian football league system, striving to make its mark on the national stage.

First Division (1998–2004)

During this period, First Division functioned as the second tier in the Indonesian football league system, equivalent to the current Championship (previously Liga 2). Persmin's early participation in national football began in the 1998–99 season in First Division. They reached the Top 8 after winning Group IV in the initial phase but secured only the fourth position in Group A of the Top 8. In the 1999–00 season, Persmin again failed to secure promotion to Premier Division after finishing third in the Eastern Group of First Division. The struggle continued in subsequent seasons with varying results until finally, in the 2004 season, Persmin earned promotion to Premier Division.

Premier Division (2005–2007)

At that time, Premier Division was the top tier in Indonesian football league system, equivalent to the current Super League (previously Liga 1). After their promotion in 2004, Persmin competed in Premier Division and displayed competitive performances. Their peak achievement occurred in the 2006 season when they reached the semifinals and secured third place. This accomplishment established Persmin as one of the "dark horse" teams in national football during that period.[1]

Decline in performance and competition in Liga 3

Following several seasons in Premier Division, Persmin experienced a decline in performance, leading to relegation to lower leagues. They then competed in Liga 3 (now called the Liga Nusantara), which is the third tier in the current league system. In 2024, Persmin clinched the Liga 3 North Sulawesi zone, title by defeating Persminsel South Minahasa with a score of 3–1 in the final held at Klabat Stadium, Manado.[2]

Liga 4 era (2026–)

In 2026, Persmin played in the fourth (lowest) tier in the 2025–26 Liga 4 North Sulawesi. They only reached the second round after finishing in lowest position (3rd) in group D, after drawing 2–2 against Persminsel South Minahasa and lost in the latest match against Persma 1960 with a score of 0–1.

Stadium

Persmin hosts its home matches at Maesa Stadium, located in Tondano. The stadium has a seating capacity of 15,000 and serves as a central hub for football activities in Minahasa.
