After the 2014 Indonesia Super League season ended, Putra Samarinda owner Harbiansyah Hanafiah decided to sell the club to businessman Pieter Tanuri who relocated the Borneo golf club to Gianyar, upon noticing the affluent island of Bali had no representative in the top-flight of Indonesian football after the 2013 adjournment of Indonesia Premier League ( IPL ) club Bali Devata FC after the controversial IPL league stopped. Tanuri, who co-owns tiremaker Multistrada Arah Sarana, chose Gianyar because Bali Devata used a mid-size stadium there called the Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium and the regency is strategically located at the kernel of the island, quite than the coasts where most extraneous tourists flock. The raw owner wanted the baseball club to attract the local anesthetic balinese fans from all corners of the island and surface as the pride of Bali. To achieve that, Tanuri besides wholly rebranded the club to an outfit that carries the Balinese identity, starting by renaming it Bali United Pusam Football Club with colors and a crown that wage court to the unique culture in Bali. [ 7 ] finally, the Pusam historical tag was dropped when Bali United began to be considered as an elect club in Indonesia with the most professional management under the direction of Pieter Tanuri ‘s brother Yabes Tanuri .

Bumpy start ( 2015-16 ) [edit ]

Bali United started its foray into top-flight indonesian football in the 2015 season of the indonesian Super League. however, the temper was discontinued only after the rebranded club played two games amid the conflict between the indonesian government and the nation ‘s football affiliation PSSI that besides led to a FIFA suspension on all association football activities in Indonesia from May 2015 to May 2016. [ 8 ] Bali United in belated 2016 finished their foremost full moon temper in an unauthorized league that tried to fill the gap left by the dissolve Indonesia Super League, the 2016 Indonesia Soccer Championship A. They finished 12th out of 18 teams, a goodly resultant role for a new club. [ 9 ]

Liga 1 years [edit ]

In the inaugural Liga 1 temper in 2017, Bali United struggled in their first two matches, leading to the displace of head coach Hans-Peter Schaller. [ 10 ] His successor, indonesian national football team caption Widodo Cahyono Putro, managed to make Bali United compete for the championship and become the most productive team in the league. however, the controversial decision from organizers to use the tete-a-tete results in crowning the indonesian Police clubhouse Bhayangkara despite it having the lapp exact points with Bali United dashed the hopes of a fairy-tale ending.
