Arseto Football Club, which is commonly referred to simply as Arseto, was an Indonesian football club based in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. They last played in the Liga Indonesia Premier Division.
The club was established in 1978 by Sigit Harjojudanto , who was the son of former President Suharto. At first, the club was based in Jakarta. However, the club moved to Solo in 1983 after Suharto declared 9 September as National Sports Day during the inauguration of Sriwedari Stadium . During its existence the club won the 1990–92 Galatama title, as well as the 1985 Piala Galatama and 1985 Galatama-Perserikatan Invitational Championship. The team's home colours were blue, so they were dubbed the Sky Blue Team and The White Buffalo. Arseto was dissolved in 1998 due to the political crisis and riots that year.[citation needed]
