Persatuan Sepakbola Barito Putera, also known as Barito Putera, is an Indonesian professional football club based in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. The club competes in Championship, the second tier of Indonesia football.
History Foundation and Galatama era (1988–1994) Barito Putera was founded in 1988 by H. A. Sulaiman and participated in the 1988–89 Galatama season. Andi Lala was their first coach. For the 1990 season, they signed Frans Sinatra Huwae, who would later be their captain and club legend, and Sukma Sejati as coach. The next year, Sukma Sejati was replaced by Maryoto, who previously coached Frans Sinatra Huwae in Diklat Ragunan. Salahuddin joined Barito and was called to the Indonesia national team for the 1991 Southeast Asian Games, where he won the gold medal. In late 1992, Maryoto was replaced by Andi Teguh because he was appointed as the national team coach. Andi Teguh managed to guide Barito Putera to a third-place finish in the 1992–93 Galatama season with players such as Frans Sinatra Huwae, Salahuddin, Zainuri, Yusuf Luluporo, Abdillah, Albert Korano, Fahmi Amiruddin, Samsul Bahri, Joko Hariyono, Heriansyah and Saiman. In the last season of Galatama, Daniel Roekito replaced Andi Teguh and Buyung Ismu was one of the most feared strikers in Indonesia.
Modern era and recent history (1994–present) Led by H. Rahmadi HAS, they started the first season in the merged Liga Indonesia Premier Division by finishing as a semifinalist after being defeated by then champion Persib Bandung 1–0. In 1995, Daniel Roekito was replaced by Bulgarian coach A. Soso, the first foreign coach of the club. In 1996 Maryoto again joined Barito. In 1997, Maryoto and A. Soso became coaching duo. Between 1999 and 2002, Rudy William Keltjes and Tumpak Sihite coached Barito.
Because of financial problems, Barito Putera was relegated to the Liga Indonesia First Division in 2003. The crisis continued and they were relegated to the Liga Indonesia Second Division in 2004, despite the new coach Gusti Gazali. Finally in 2008, they won the Liga Indonesia Second Division, and earned promotion to the Liga Indonesia First Division. In 2010, Barito finished in top eight and was promoted to the Liga Indonesia Premier Division.
Ten years after relegation, they became champion of the 2011–12 Liga Indonesia Premier Division by beating Persita Tangerang 2–1, and returned to the highest domestic league. On June 14, 2015, H. Abdussamad Sulaiman Haji Basirun, the founder and chairman of Barito Putera, died in Jakarta.
In the 2021–22 Liga 1 season Barito finished above Persipura Jayapura although having the same points due to head-to-head rule after drawing 1–1 against Persib Bandung in the final matchday, but three seasons later they were relegated to Liga 2 despite beating PSIS Semarang 2–1 in the final matchday.
