Persipasi Bandung Raya (formerly Pelita Bandung Raya) is an Indonesian football club based in Bekasi, West Java, founded on November 11, 1986.

History

In October 2012, 100 percent of Pelita Jaya's was sold by the club owner PT Pelita Jaya Cronus to Ari Dewanto Sutedi, the owner of Second Division's Bandung Raya and President Director of PT Retower Asia.^[1] After the purchase, Pelita Bandung Raya will automatically have the right to perform in the 2013 Indonesia Super League.^[2]

In October 2014, there were plans to remove the word Pelita from the club's name. This was done to enable the club to be more accepted in Bandung and to have a more commercialized name.^[3] On April 12, 2015, Persipasi Bekasi bought club shares from PT Kreasi Performa Pasundan, thus changing the club name to Persipasi Bandung Raya.^[4]
