Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno; literally "Bung Karno Sports Arena Main Stadium") is a multi-purpose stadium located at the center of the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex in Central Jakarta, Indonesia. The stadium is named after Sukarno, Indonesia's first President. It is mostly used for football matches.

When first opened in 1962, the stadium had a seating capacity of 110,000. It has been reduced twice: first to 88,083 in 2006 for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup and second to 76,127 between 2016 and 2017 for the 2018 Asian Games and Asian Para Games. In the 2016–17 renovations, all spectator benches are replaced by single seats. The 88,083 capacity made it the 7th largest association football stadium in the world. Today it is the 28th largest association football stadium in the world and 8th largest association football stadium in Asia.

The 2007 AFC Asian Cup Final took place in the stadium. During the 2018 Asian Games, the stadium hosted the opening and closing ceremonies, and its entire athletics events in between.

Name

Although the stadium is popularly known as Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (Stadion Gelora Bung Karno) or GBK Stadium, its official name is Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium (Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno), as there are other stadiums in the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex, such as the Tennis Stadium and the Swimming Stadium. During the New Order era, the complex was renamed "Gelora Senayan Complex" and the stadium was renamed "Gelora Senayan Main Stadium" in 1969 under the "de-Sukarnoization" policy by then-President Suharto. After the fall of the dictatorship, the complex name was reverted by President Abdurrahman Wahid on a Presidential Decree effective since 17 January 2001.

History

The stadium under construction, April 1962.
The massive roof ring structure popularly dubbed as Temu Gelang by Sukarno

Construction began on 8 February 1960 and finished on 21 July 1962,[7] in time to host the following month's Asian Games. Its construction was partially funded through a special loan from the Soviet Union. The stadium's original capacity of 110,000 people was reduced to 88,083 as a result of renovations for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup.[8] It is divided into 24 sectors and 12 entrances, and into upper and lower stands. The special feature of this stadium is the huge steel roof construction that forms a gigantic ring called temu gelang (joined ring), something that was very rare in 1962. Other than to shade the spectators in all sectors from the heat of tropical sun, the purpose of this giant ring construction is also to emphasize the grandeur of the stadium.[9]

Events hosted

During the 2018 Asian Games, the stadium was covered in changing colors LED lights.

GBK Stadium hosted the 2007 Asian Cup Final between Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Other competitions held there are several Tiger Cup finals and domestic cup finals.

Recent renovations

Indonesia hosted the 2018 Asian Games and 2018 Asian Para Games. Gelora Bung Karno was chosen as both Games' main stadium. Due to the age of this stadium, the government made an improvement for the stadium to meet the Asian Games criteria. All the wooden long benches were scrapped and replaced with single seats, ultimately made it an all-seater stadium. Its lighting system was upgraded from 1200 lux to 3500 lux.[14][15] On the stadium's roof, there are 1,293 solar panels installed.[16] After renovation, the stadium accommodates the needs of disabled users.[17]
