PSPS was formed on 1 January 1955. This team took 43 years to finally reach the Divisi Utama PSSI in 1999. This team was originally formed during the first management period when PSPS was just a small football association consisting of only five member clubs, namely PS IPP (Ikatan Pemuda Pekanbaru), PS Pelayaran, PS Caltex, PS PU (Pekerjaan Umum), and PS Elektra (PLN).[6]
