Soeratin Sosrosoegondo (17 December 1898 – 1 December 1959) was an Indonesian engineer and football administrator who opposed the Dutch colonial rule. He was the founder and first chairman of the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) who served in the period 1930–1940.
Early life and education
editSoeratin was born on 17 December 1898 in Jogjakarta, Dutch East Indies to an educated family. His father, R. Soesrosoegondo, was a teacher at Kweekschool (Teaching School) and wrote the book Bausastra Bahasa Jawi. After graduating from Koningen Wilhelmina School in Jakarta, Soeratin studied at the Higher Technical School in Hecklenburg, near Hamburg, Germany, in 1920 and graduated as a civil engineer in 1927.
Career
editEarly career
editUpon Soeratin's return from Europe in 1928, he joined a leading Dutch construction company and built, among other things, bridges and buildings in Tegal and Bandung.
First chairman of Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI)
editIn 1930, along with his work at a Dutch-owned company, Soeratin began pioneering the establishment of a football organization. The organization can be said to be a concrete realization of the 1928 Youth Pledge. Nationalism was tried to be developed through sports, especially football. Like Soeratin's uncle, Dr. Soetomo, who traveled around Java to meet many figures in order to emphasize the importance of education and then followed by the establishment of Budi Utomo, Soeratin met with native football figures in Surakarta, Yogyakarta, Magelang, Jakarta, and Bandung. The meeting was held secretly to avoid raids by the Dutch Intel (PID). On 19 April 1930, several figures from various cities gathered in Yogyakarta to establish Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) (Indonesian: Persatoean Sepakraga Seloeroeh Indonesia). The term "sepakraga" was replaced with "sepakbola" at the PSSI Congress in Solo in 1950. PSSI then held regular competitions since 1931, and there were verbal instructions given to the administrators, if they competed against a Dutch club they could not lose. Soeratin became the general chairman of this organization 11 times in a row. Every year he was re-elected.
The activities of managing PSSI caused Soeratin to leave the Dutch company and establish his own business. After Japan colonized Indonesia and the war of independence occurred, Soeratin's life became very difficult. His house was ransacked by the Dutch. He was active in the People's Security Army with the rank of lieutenant colonel. After the transfer of sovereignty, he became one of the leaders of the Railway Department.
His services in national football are immortalized in the name of the trophy contested in the national junior football competition, the Soeratin Cup.
Personal life
editHe married R.A. Srie Woelan, the younger brother of Sutomo, the founder of the political movement Budi Utomo.
Meninggal dunia
editThe old Soeratin lived in economic hardship. He died in 1959.[1]
