History
[edit ]In 2021–22 season, they compete in Liga 3 East Kalimantan zone where they emerged as champions after defeating Persisam United in the final round and automatically advanced to the national phase.[1] In the national phase, the best achievement achieved by Persikutim was the second round by collecting one point from three matches and fourth place in Group Q.
Last season's results saw Persikutim return to compete at the provincial level the following season, but the league that season was halted due to the incident at Kanjuruhan Stadium.
In the 2023–24 season, Persikutim joined the North District where they were ranked sixth with three points from six matches and could not advance to the next round. When Liga 4 was formed in the 2024–25 season, Persikutim could not participate where in that season only two teams participated for the East Kalimantan zone.
However, Persikutim added the word "United" to the official name so that the name changed to Persikutim United and moved up to Liga Nusantara for the 2025–26 season after acquiring NZR Sumbersari's license on 4 June 2025, with the changes ratified at the 2025 PSSI Ordinary Congress in Jakarta.[2] [3]
