On 27 November 2014, Borneo won their first title by becoming champion of the 2014 Liga Indonesia Premier Division after beating Persiwa Wamena 2–1 in the final.

In the 2017 Piala Presiden, Borneo went on to defeat cup favourites, Persib 5–3 on penalties shootout in the semi-finals thus reaching their first cup final in the club history where Borneo faced off against Arema. However, Borneo suffered a 5–1 defeat to the opponent.
