A national fourth-tier league of Indonesian football was initially established as the Liga Indonesia Third Division in 2005. Following the formation of the Indonesia Super League in 2008 as the new top-tier competition, the Liga Indonesia Second Division was relegated to the fourth tier. Due to conflicts between Badan Liga Sepakbola Amatir Indonesia (BLAI) and PT Liga Prima Indonesia Sportindo (LPIS), two separate Second Division competitions were held during the 2011âÂÂ12 seasonâÂÂone under the Indonesia Super League (ISL) and the other under the Indonesian Premier League.
In January 2014, PSSI rebranded the Second Division as Liga Nusantara. From 2015 to 2023, there was no fourth-tier competition in the Indonesian football league system following the merger of Liga Nusantara with the First Division, which resulted in the formation of Liga 3 as the lowest tier of the national league structure. In 2024, PSSI restructured the league system by bringing back the fourth-tier competition, now called Liga 4.
