In the final match of Liga 2, PSIM will face Bhayangkara FC who first advanced to the final round with the title of Group Y winners. The duel will compete for prestige as the 2nd League champion this season.
PSIM as one of the seven teams that dressed the birth of PSSI almost a century ago has long been absent from the highest caste of Indonesian football competitions.
The last time PSIM played in the top caste competition was 2006 when Liga 1 was still named the Main Division.
However, PSIM at that time had to resign from the Main Division of the 2006 season due to the earthquake that rocked DIY and its surroundings. Since then, PSIM has never been promoted to the Main Division or League 1 again.
