Tournaments were made to replace the competition, starting with the 2015 President's Cup (Indonesian: Piala Presiden) where Persib Bandung came out as champions, until the Bhayangkara Cup (Indonesian: Piala Bhayangkara) closed the series of unrecognized tournaments ahead of ISC 2016.

The 2015–16 season of the Indonesia Super League (ISL) was originally to start from either 24 or 25 of October 2015 and end in August 2016.

Finally PT Liga and Indonesian football clubs agreed not to use the "ISL" name for the upcoming long-term tournaments.

[5] Using the name Torabika Soccer Championship, ISC officially launched in Hotel Mulia in Senayan, Jakarta, on Monday, 18 April 2016.
