Introductory Remarks

This tournament was the first official championship organised by the P.S.S.I. since Indonesia's independence. (There had been a tournament in September 1950 at the occasion of the re-establishment of the P.S.S.I. (Persatuan Sepakbola Seluruh Indonesia), but it was haphazardly organised and is not considered official by the P.S.S.I.)
As in the colonial era, member entities of the national federation were not clubs but city federations (some including surrounding areas), and the national championship was contested between those. As such, this tournament can be seen as the successor of the stedenwedstrijden organised in 1949 and 1950 by the "European" V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. federation, the successor of the pre-war N.I.V.U., which was disbanded in 1951. Indeed, it was considered to be so at the time, with the championships for Surabaja (Persibaja) in 1951 and 1952 acclaimed as their third resp. fourth successive title wins (although Surabaja was represented by the S.V.B. in 1949 and 1950). There also wasn't much change in the player pool used: Saderan and Tee San Liong were part of all four championship winning squads.
Note that no "club-based" national championship was organised in Indonesia until the establishment of the semi-professional Galatama league in 1979.

Notes:
  thanks to their title, Persibaja Surabaja were automatically qualified for the
    1952 final tournament; all other cities had to enter the qualifying stages;
  the above title was considered the third successive one for Surabaja, implying
    that the P.S.S.I. tournament was seen as the continuation of the tournament
    organised by V.U.V.S.I./I.S.N.I.S. in 1949 and 1950;
  after the 1951 P.S.S.I. congress which took place at the final tournament in 
    Djakarta, the P.S.S.I. reportedly had 43 member federations.
