Top 10 Stadiums in Indonesia
Indonesia has the largest football audience in Southeast Asia and a stadium landscape that ranges from the renovated 1960s national ground to the brand-new Jakarta International Stadium. Liga 1 clubs Persib Bandung, Persija Jakarta, Arema FC and PSM Makassar draw committed supporter bases that fill regional grounds across Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi. The country is also one of the hosts of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup and has invested heavily in stadium modernisation. Every venue is on the map.
1. Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, Jakarta
Capacity: 77,193 (post-2018 renovation). Indonesia's national stadium, built for the 1962 Asian Games and named after the country's first president, Sukarno. The complete renovation ahead of the 2018 Asian Games reduced the original capacity in favour of all-seater configurations, modern concourses, and improved sightlines. It hosts the Indonesia national team, Persija Jakarta's biggest matches, and major Liga 1 finals.
2. Jakarta International Stadium
Capacity: 82,000. Opened in 2022 in North Jakarta, the JIS is one of the newest large stadiums in Asia and the first fully covered retractable-roof football ground in Indonesia. The project — long delayed and politically contested — produced a modern bowl with a green roof feature and a tight playing-pitch configuration. The stadium hosted matches at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.
3. Si Jalak Harupat Stadium, Bandung
Capacity: 27,166. Persib Bandung's most-used home ground, located in the Bandung Regency south of the city. Persib's supporter base, the Bobotoh, ranks among the largest in Southeast Asian football, and the small concrete bowl regularly fills for league fixtures.
4. Kapten I Wayan Dipta Stadium, Gianyar
Capacity: 25,000. Bali United's home in Gianyar, Bali, named after a local hero. Bali United, founded in 2014, has become Liga 1's most consistently competitive non-Java side and the venue has hosted AFC Cup matches.
5. Manahan Stadium, Surakarta
Capacity: 20,000. Persis Solo's home in Surakarta (Solo), Central Java. Renovated for the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup (Indonesia later lost hosting rights), the stadium now meets full FIFA standards and is one of the cleanest mid-size grounds in the country.
6. Gelora Bandung Lautan Api, Bandung
Capacity: 38,000. Persib Bandung's larger alternative ground in the Gedebage area of Bandung, opened in 2013 for the PON XIX Games. Persib uses the venue for the biggest matches that exceed Si Jalak Harupat's capacity.
7. Pakansari Stadium, Bogor
Capacity: 30,000. Modern Bogor Regency stadium that has hosted Indonesia national team matches and AFC Cup ties. The venue served as one of the principal football grounds for the 2018 Asian Games.
8. Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium, Bekasi
Capacity: 30,000. Bekasi's modern football ground, opened in 2014 after the older Stadion Bekasi was demolished. The bowl serves Persipasi Bekasi and has hosted Indonesia national team fixtures.
9. Maguwoharjo Stadium, Sleman
Capacity: 30,000. PSS Sleman's home near Yogyakarta. The bowl is one of the largest in the historically passionate Yogyakarta football region, where PSS supporters (BCS-Brigata Curva Sud) have built one of the most organised ultras-style support cultures in Indonesia.
10. Mattoanging Stadium, Makassar (under reconstruction)
The original Mattoanging, PSM Makassar's home from 1957, was demolished in 2019 with a planned reconstruction to a 40,000-capacity bowl on the same site. PSM has played in temporary grounds during the build. The legacy of Mattoanging — South Sulawesi's spiritual centre of football — places the future venue firmly in any top-10 list of Indonesian grounds.
Liga 1
Liga 1 is Indonesia's top division with 18 clubs and a March-to-July plus August-to-March split-season schedule reformed multiple times. Persija Jakarta, Persib Bandung, Arema FC, PSM Makassar and Bali United have dominated the modern era. The league produces several AFC Cup qualifying clubs each cycle and has occasional AFC Champions League appearances when berths are allocated.
Atmosphere and the Indonesian ultras scene
Indonesian supporter culture is among the most developed in Asia, with organised groups including the Bobotoh (Persib), The Jakmania (Persija), Aremania (Arema), Brigata Curva Sud (PSS Sleman) and Curva Sud Makassar (PSM). Choreographies, banner displays, and sustained chanting routinely produce atmospheres comparable to top European leagues. The 2022 Kanjuruhan Stadium disaster, in which a crowd-control failure during a Persebaya-Arema match caused over 130 fatalities, prompted nationwide stadium safety reform and remains a recent reference point for stadium-management practice in the country. All venues are marked on the map.
