History
Borneo F.C. Samarinda was formed by former Putra Samarinda supporters who were dissatisfied with their team's lack of achievements.[2] PT Nahusam Pratama Indonesia bought Perseba Super Bangkalan on 7 March 2014, which gave them direct license to compete in the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division, and changed the name to Pusamania Borneo F.C.[3][4]
After beating PSGC Ciamis on penalties in the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division semi-final, they were promoted to the Indonesia Super League.[5] On 27 November 2014, Borneo FC won their first title by becoming champion of the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division after beating Persiwa Wamena 2–1 in the final.[6]
