Indonesian Football Rivalries
An interesting look at football rivalries in Indonesia can be found on the Persebaya fan site Bonek Cyber.
I was interested to see the article link Persebaya fans with the fans of PSIM Yogyakarta, known as Brajamusti. On my first visit to Indonesia in 1987 I recall sitting at a warung in Yogya talking football with a couple of local lads and they said the biggest problem they faced was with fans from Surabaya.
If you don't read Indonesia then stick the article through Google translate...
On the topic of rivalries I am in the process of doing a series for Jakarta Casual TV on this very topic. The first will look at the hatred between fans of Persija and Persib.
