[edit] The Arema FC culture

The Arema is born out of the pride of the citizens of Malang. With the desire to establish themselves as a famous and a high nobility society, the people (especially the teenagers) of Malang participated in all kinds of activities (which includes boxing, rock music and athleticism) to help establish the Malang as one of the famous societies in Indonesia.
Arema is also the name of an Indonesian/Javanese legend, Singo Arema who is thought to originate from Malang. Due to this fact, "Arema" became a relevant name to be used for the culture and identity of Malang.

[edit] History

At the moment when Arema Galatama XII champions 1992/93

Arema is a professional club based in Malang, East Java. Initially the team was born on August 11, 1987 on the initiative of Acub Zaenal, founder Galatama club, this is called Aremada, which is a combination of local clubs and 86 Malang Arema Fleet. But that name did not last long. A few months later, it was changed to Arema 86.
Efforts to maintain the club 86 Arema Galatama went through many obstacles, even the team that was expected to take part in the Galatama VIII stumbled due to difficulties in funding. From here Acub Zaenal along with his son Lucky Acub Zaenal took over and tried to save Arema 86 in order to survive.
The name was changed to 86 Arema and set the foundation on August 11, 1987 in accordance notarial document Pramu Haryono SH No. 58. Since then, they prepared Arema as a professional team. The squad, facilities, and the officials were upgraded.
The team's achievement in Indonesian football faced countless ups and downs. The club's main issue is financial backup. However, they were crowned champions of Galatama in 1992-93 season.
Since the introduction of Liga Indonesia, a combination of Perserikatan and Galatama, Arema has been recorded seven times in the second round. However, financial constraints continue to squeeze the club trip, until eventually PT Bentoel Internasional Tbk acquired the ownership of the team in mid-season 2003.
As a result of the financial crisis that was made Arema down caste in division one. But with the new financial strength, Arema only stayed one season in division one and re-promoted to the top league as the champion. Since then the performance was stable. Arema was able penetrate the Super League, the highest caste of competition in the country for the first time this season rolling.
In 2011 Arema is divided into two teams, one team led by Muhammad Nur which played in the Indonesian Premier League and the other team led by Rendra Kresna which played in the Indonesia Super League.
