The history of the establishment of Persitara itself cannot be separated from the role of

as the parent of Jakarta football. In the 1970s, Persija, which was still affiliated with the West Java PSSI Regional Commission, initiated the establishment of a separate Regional Commission in Jakarta. The reason is, Persija which is the parent club has difficulty accommodating quite a lot of local clubs. The formation of the Jakarta Regional Commission coincided with the establishment of other clubs, namely Persijatimut (East-North) and Persijaselbar (South-West). Persijatimut broke up and Persitara officially stood alone under the name of the North Jakarta Indonesian Football Association in 1985. Persitara Jakarta Utara is a football club in Jakarta. Persitara is an acronym for the North Jakarta Indonesian Football Association. Initially the club nicknamed ''Laskar Si Pitung'' was founded in 1979 using the name Persija East-North and only later in 1985, the club officially used the name "Persitara North Jakarta", which is considered to truly represent the people of North Jakarta.

held the leadership in DKI Jakarta for two terms. Persitara are not taken into account at all and are only considered as a complementary team. Especially with the emergence of the discourse "''Jakarta Satu''". That is, only one football team that appears to represent Jakarta. This can be seen from the APBD funds obtained. Persija received APBD funds of around Rp. 22 billion, while Persitara only got Rp. 3 billion. Never getting the attention of DKI Provincial Government, Persitara's achievements were in free fall, to be in the lowest caste

The dualism that occurred in the Indonesian competition in 2011-2012, between the Indonesia Premier League which is managed by PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo, owned by PSSI and PT Liga Indonesia, the operator of the Indonesia Super League, is increasingly tapering. The 2010s were a difficult time for Persitara. The dualism of the competition in 2011-2013 with Batavia Union split the club apart. In addition, the acute financial crisis that undermined the ''Laskar Si Pitung'' began to show its effects. In the 2014 Premier Division, Persitara was in arrears on player salaries. They couldn't even afford to rent

so they failed to hold a home game. Persitara were then relegated to Third Division. The situation is getting chaotic for Persitara. The absence of competent management leaves them adrift in Third Division.Target Persitara Tembus Putaran Nasional Liga 3
