Divisi Utama is starting to slowly take shape with the announcement of the eight different groups featuring 63 teams (nice round number that). Only two teams will get promoted to the ISL in 2015...assuming the structure isn't changed again.

What is interesting about the second tier is it can be a real eye opener on Indonesian geography. How many clubs are looking at Group 4 for example wishing it was them?!

1. PERSIP PEKALONGAN
2. PSIS SEMARANG
3. PERSIKU KUDUS
4. PSIR REMBANG
5. PERSIPUR PURWODADI
6. PERSIS SOLO
7. PPSM SAKTI MAGELANG
8. PERSITEMA TEMANGGUNG

Every away game can be done as a day trip with no great distances involved. Not sure the local police will be so happy though!

Pity poor Perseman. Actually, I dont think the league does that much. Check out their group!

1.PSIM YOGYAKARTA
2. PSS SLEMAN
3. PERSINGA NGAWI
4. PERSENGA NGANJUK
5. PSBK KOTA BLITAR
6. PSBI BLITAR
7. MADIUN PUTRA FC
8. PERSEMAN MANOKWARI

Don't be surprised if they decide to play their home games in Central Java in the way Persiram in the ISL have opted to.

Group 6 brings together Deltras and Persida in a Sidoarjo derby while Group 7 has plenty of flights for the teams from Sulawesi and Sumbawa!

1. PERSEKAM METRO FC
2. PERSEBO BONDOWOSO
3. PERSID JEMBER
4. PERSEWANGI BANYUWANGI
5. PERSIGO GORONTALO
6. PERSBUOL BUOL
7. PS SUMBAWA BARAT

Full list can be found here. The fixture list will come out on, umm, dunno but the league is due to start in April.
