The Gelora Bung Karno Stadium ( Indonesian Stadium Gelora Bung Karno ) is a football stadium with an athletics facility in the Indonesian capital Jakarta . It is the national stadium in the country. Until 2005 it was called Utama Senayan Stadium , before it was named after the first president of independent Indonesia, Sukarno (1945-1967), who was nicknamed Bung Karno . By the start of the renovation in June 2016, the stadium had 88,083 seats. After the renovation, it now offers 77,193 seats.

history

The stadium, which was built from 1960 to 1962 in cooperation with the Soviet Union , is located in Gelora in the downtown Tanah Abang district of Jakarta and was rebuilt and dismantled by the end of 2006 for the 14th Asian Football Championship in summer 2007. During the renovation, the capacity fell from 100,800 to 88,306 seats; however, the stadium was still one of the largest sports arenas in the world.

The stadium is mainly used for soccer games, but it also has a plastic track and other athletics facilities . It is surrounded by a park with various other sports facilities that are used in particular for international tennis and badminton competitions. The facilities were built for the Asian Games in 1962, but have not been renovated since then.

The Indonesian national soccer team plays most of its home games in the Bung Karno Stadium, and finals of the Southeast Asian Cup (“Tiger Cup”) were often played in the arena , most recently at the tournaments in 2002 , 2008 and 2010 . The first Tiger Cup final in Jakarta in 2002 saw 100,000 spectators. The stadium is also from the football club Persija Jakarta of Indonesia Super League used.

The Bung Karno Stadium was one of the venues for the Asian Football Championship in 2007; In addition to five games in tournament group D, with the teams from Bahrain , Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and South Korea , and a quarter-finals, the final of the competition was played there on July 29, 2007.

The record visit to the facility is said to have been set up during a game between Persija Jakarta and Arema Malang on May 30, 2010. 130,000 visitors are said to have watched the game in the spacious stadium. Other sources even give a record number of around 150,000 visitors to a game between PSMS Medan and Persib Bandung on February 23, 1985.

The XVIII. The Asian Games will take place in Jakarta and Palembang in 2018 . For the opening and closing ceremonies, the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium was renovated for 500 million  IDR (40 million  US dollars / 33 million  euros ). Construction work began in June 2016 and should be completed in August 2017. The entire seats, mostly benches, were replaced by individual plastic seats. This reduced the available space to around 77,000 seats. Outside, the concrete facade and the old columns for stabilization were renewed. Five long ramps were built in a spiral around the stadium to improve the access and exit of the crowds. The floodlights , the sound system and the sanitary facilities were replaced. A new outer ring with solar modules was planned on the roof . Furthermore, space was to be created in newly laid out, shady promenades for the retail trade with sales stands and catering offers.

The renovation dragged on longer than previously planned with 13 months. Two years after the closure in June 2018, the last work still had to be done. The plans for the renovation costs could not be adhered to either. The 500 million IDR became 770 million IDR (around 46.2 million euros). The Gelora-Bung-Karno-Stadion received an LED floodlight system under the roof with 3,000  lux illuminance . It enables TV recordings in HD quality. A ring of photovoltaic panels that can generate 420 kWh of electricity was installed  on the roof . Inside the stadium, a new network for was 4.5G - Internet access installed. Thousands of people can use the internet at the same time.
