| Jakarta International Stadium (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. Construction of the stadium started in September 2019 and completed in April 2022. After numerous delays and preparations, the stadium opened for its grand opening on 24 July 2022.
The stadium complex is built on 22 hectares of land and the stadium building itself is built on 375.7 m2 (4,044 sq ft). This stadium is the largest capacity retractable roof stadium in Asia and the second largest retractable roof stadium by capacity in the world, just behind AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
