History

Persigar was founded on 28 September 1949, originating from Garut and headquartered at Jayaraga Stadium and has the nickname Maung Sancang. From the past until now, players from Garut have always been the target of foreign clubs.

Starting from the era of players in the 1960s, continuing into the era of the 1980s, such as Adeng Hudaya, Uut Kuswendi who played in the Indonesia national team and Persib Bandung, or current players in the era of Zaenal Arief, Johan Juansyah, Rudi Geovani, and other players.

In the 1960s, Persigar's achievements made West Java proud. One of them was thanks to encouragement from H. Daim Kusnadi, who was one of the driving forces behind the success of Persigar at that time. At that time, Persigar was just one step away from entering the Divisi Utama. Unfortunately luck has not been on Persigar side.

In 1968, Persigar which was strengthened by Dadeng Sukardi, Anton, Syamsi, Toto Rachmat, Dindin, Masdar, was defeated by PSP Padang with a narrow score of 1–2.

Persigar almost experienced a similar achievement in 2002 when Garut was led by the charismatic regent, H. Dede Satibi. In that year, Persigar was coached by Dede Irawan, who was strengthened by Agus Kurnia (former Persigar coach), Edi Hafid Murtado (former Pelita Bandung Raya player), and several other players. In the preliminary round, Persigar also beat the Persibo Bojonegoro, which is now in the Liga 3, then Persiba Bantul and PSM Madiun.

In 1998, Persigar qualified for promotion to Division I Indonesian League in representing West Java.
