Pusamania Borneo F.C. was formed by former Putra Samarinda supporters who were dissatisfied with their team's lack of achievements.

After beating PSGC Ciamis on penalties in the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division semifinal, they were promoted to the Indonesia Super League. On November 27, 2014, Pusamania Borneo won their first title by becoming champion of the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division after beating Persiwa Wamena 2–1 in the final.
