The last of the most honorable titles on the national football stage that was brought back to Aceh was 37 years. Exactly when Persiraja Banda Aceh won the 1980 Division Major League Competition.

After that there is nothing worth remembering. In Liga Indonesia 2007, there are two clubs of Aceh in the top division of Liga Indonesia, Persiraja and PSSB Bireun. But, both slumped on the board below.

Now there are even two Aceh clubs on the national stage. That was in League 2, namely Persiraja and Langsa PSBL.

In 2016, when following the Indonesia Soccer Championship (ISC) B, Raihan Persiraja actually not bad even just prepare themselves within a month.

Persiraja become group 1 winners inhabited by Sumatran clubs. Under the care of coach Akhyar Ilyas, Persiraja qualify up to the last 16. However, it failed to go any further because of financial reasons, including for the needs of airline tickets. Similarly, Langsa PSBL who finish in third position group 1.

Finances are just one of the reasons for the difficulty of growing Aceh clubs. Other obstacles are natural disasters and prolonged armed conflicts that once plundered Rencong Land.

When the Peace Accords in Helsinki in 2005 succeeded in ending the armed conflict and the impact of the tsunami has been completely resolved, another aral that arose no less severe: chaotic in PSSI.

In fact, the chaos in the federation was also causing efforts to revive the football of Aceh in 2010 intercepted. At that time, Persiraja who became the lighthouse of Aceh football ended the season as runner-up Division Main and promotion to Indonesia Super League (ISL).

But, dualism then occurs in PSSI. Persiraja choose to play in Indonesian Premier League, while another Aceh club, PSAP Sigli, at the same time playing in Indonesia Super League. In the midst of unhealthy Indonesian football atmosphere, the two clubs also failed to speak.
