Jakarta International Stadium

History

Jakarta International Stadium (JIS; Indonesian: Stadion Internasional Jakarta) is a retractable roof football stadium in Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, Indonesia. It is the home ground of Persija Jakarta after moving from their previous stadium, Gelora Bung Karno Stadium, and the occasional home of the Indonesia national football team, after an agreement between PSSI and PT JAKPRO to use the facility. The stadium has a seating capacity of 82,000 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Indonesia and largest football-specific stadium in Asia. Construction of the stadium was delayed due to land disputes and class-action lawsuits by former squatters whose homes were demolished to make way for the stadium.
