History

Volleyball first entered Indonesia in 1928 which was brought by the Dutch during the Dutch colonial era. At that time, volleyball was only played by the Dutch and aristocrats, considering that sports in Indonesia at that time were developed by physical education teachers from the Netherlands. In addition, volleyball was also played by soldiers and they often held inter-company matches. Volleyball grew rapidly in Indonesia, and the Indonesian Volleyball Federation (PBVSI) emerged on 22 January 1955. Then at the same time, the first national volleyball championship was also held in Indonesia. This sport became more popular in Indonesia when the Asian Games IV was held in 1962 as well as Ganefo I the following year. In October 1951, volleyball was competed in the official event of the Second National Sports Week (PON) in Jakarta. The first international tournament that Indonesia national team participated in was the 1962 Asian Games where they finish in 4th place. Indonesia participated in Asian Championship in eleven edition and finish in 9th place in 2023 tournament. The team appeared in SEA Games final nineteen times and they won twelve gold medal.
