Liga 1 U-19 is a junior-level league of participating clubs in Liga 1. From 2008 to 2014, this youth league was an under-21 league known as the Indonesia Super League U-21. From the 2017 season onwards, the competition age limit decreased from under-21 to under-19.[1] Building and managing a complete U-19 team is one of the requirements for clubs participating in Liga 1, as regulated by the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI). In 2019, the league was replaced by Elite Pro Academy.
