History Football activities in Kudus have actually existed since the Dutch East Indies era, but there was no organization to oversee it. It is officially stated that Persiku Kudus was founded on 1 January 1934. Football in Kudus got an umbrella organization on 12 April 1955 with the establishment of the Indonesian Football Association of Kudus or Persiku Kudus, which was initiated by a TNI officer Major Supardiyono, who at the time served as Dandim Kudus. Since then, Persiku Kudus has become association that oversees all football activities in Kudus Regency. Football became a kind of self-identification, social, and cultural process for the people of Kudus.
