This club was formed on 27 April 2018 as Persikad 1999 after the original club, Persikad Depok, was sold and moved its home base to Bogor and became Bogor Football Club (later became Sulut United). Persikad 1999 acquired another West Java club, Mars Gelatik from Purwakarta to compete in Liga 3 West Java and was officially appointed through the PSSI West Java Congress in February 2020.
After struggling for several seasons in the West Java regional league zone of Liga 3 and Liga 4, Persikad has again acquired a club.
