The team's claim of regional titles came in the of 1987 and 1991. It was perceived that, immediately following the historic campaign, Indonesia might be on the verge of a more prominent stature in the ASEAN football scene.

Under the guidance of former and striker, the Southeast Asian outfit appeared to be capable of continuing its success in terms of football development.

In the lead-up to 20 March 2012, the PSSI struggled to resolve the situation and looked to its annual congress for a final solution. The PSSI was given until 15 June 2012 to settle the issues at stake, notably the control of the breakaway league; failing this, the case was to be referred to the for suspension. FIFA eventually set a new 1 December 2012 deadline and in the two weeks preceding the deadline, three out of four PSSI representatives withdrew from the joint committee, citing frustrations in dealing with KPSI representatives.

The ban took effect immediately and meant that Indonesia would not be eligible to compete in the next round of qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup and 2019 Asian Cup, starting less than two weeks later.
