The Badan Liga Sepakbola Amatir Indonesia (Indonesian for Amateur Football League Board of Indonesia), commonly known as BLAI, was the governing body that ran the three lowest football divisions in Indonesia, namely First Division, Second Division and Third Division, from 2009. BLAI also managed the youth competition of Indonesian football as Soeratin Cup for under-18 team and Haornas Cup for under-15 team.

The BLAI was founded in 2009.[1]

Promotion and relegation between the divisions were a central feature of the league: at the end of the season the top clubs of First Division switched with the bottom clubs of the Premier Division (or its predecessors), thus integrating the League into the Indonesian football league system.
