Once completed, it will be used as the home ground for Persija Jakarta and will be mostly used for football matches. The stadium will be able to host 82,000 spectators.[1][2] Construction of the stadium was delayed due to land dispute and class action lawsuit by former squatters whose homes were demolished to make way for the stadium.[3] Construction finally commenced in late 2019 and scheduled to be completed in October 2021.[4]

History

Pre-construction and planning

In late 2000s to early 2010s, plans had emerged that a new home stadium for Persija Jakarta would be built in 26.5 hectares of land near the BMW Park (Indonesian: Taman BMW (Bersih, Manusiawi dan Berwibawa)) in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, where squatters had been illegally building homes for the last few years.[6] The stadium was called BMW Stadium after the aforementioned neighbouring park and was scheduled to be built by 2013 and completed by 2015.[7] The stadium had a planned capacity of 50,000 and was originally planned to feature a running track. This stadium was to be a replacement of Lebak Bulus Stadium which was demolished for the Jakarta MRT train depot.

By 2014, the stadium's construction hasn't been commenced yet since the owner of the land is still disputed by the former squatters and the city government. New plans had been discussed to build the stadium with a brand new design with 80,000 capacity for the 2018 Asian Games,[8] but later the plans were cancelled and the government opted to renovate the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium later in 2016.

After multiple series of failed planning and construction, the land dispute was over and the land was ready to be cleared for construction on 2017, and buildings of former squatters was later demolished. Two years after the land was cleared, an official tender was released for a stadium of 82,000 capacity with a retractable roof and without a running track, unlike the previous project designs over the years. The newly designed project is dubbed by the name of Jakarta International Stadium and ground officially broke in March 2019 with Governor Anies Baswedan kicking off the construction.[9] Since the construction has started, the affected neighbouring residents of Kampung Bayam has asked for compensation for damages and a few residents has moved out of the area.[10][11]

The stadium construction started in September 2019 and is expected to be completed in October 2021. The construction of the stadium hasn't been halted amid the 2019-20 Coronavirus pandemic, albeit safety precautions and medical check-ups for workers has been implemented.[12] Due to the ongoing pandemic, the construction progress has been steadily slowing down caused by the decrease of construction workers and delay of construction materials being shipped and transported for the project.

As of late December 2020, in the 68th week of construction, the project is 40,7% complete, compared to the projected 40,1% according to the plan. The project's weekly progress is published by PT WIKA Gedung on their official YouTube channel

Facilities

Jakarta International Stadium is built on par of FIFA standards to accommodate various uses, such as music concerts and art events besides football and other sporting events. The stadium would be developed as a multi-function area. Other than a football stadium, there will also be two outdoor training fields.[13][14] Other than sports facility, a transit-oriented development (TOD) with hotel and apartments would be developed in the stadium area.[15] The wide pedestrian ramp will connect the stadium complex to the nearby BMW Park. It is planned to develop an agritourist connecting the stadium complex with the neighbouring Cincin reservoir and urban forest.[16] The stadium is proposed to connect with the Jakarta LRT.[17]

The design will have a three-tiered stand design with a total capacity of 82,000 spectators. The total height of the stadium will be 73 meters tall, making it one of the tallest stadiums in the world. It will also have a tiger striped-style facade and seating mosaic themed after the team's color and mascot, while the stadium shape itself is inspired by traditional Betawi clothing.

The stadium's playing field is of FIFA regulation size of 105 x 68 meters, and will use a hybrid grass surface. The hybrid grass is going to be a combination of zoysia matrella grass and MIXTO artificial turf imported from Italy and will be used in the outdoor training fields as well.[18] It will be the first football stadium in Indonesia to have a semi-artificial surface.

The retractable roof is made of ETFE membrane and is 100 meters long. It will also be the first football stadium to have a retractable roof in Indonesia and the second football stadium in Southeast Asia to feature a retractable roof after Singapore National Stadium.

JIS Sky View Deck

Jakarta International Stadium will have a sky-view observation deck on the side of the retractable roof, the first stadium to have one in Southeast Asia. The sky-viewing deck is 70 meters or 20 stories high above the ground that offers view of the Ancol complex and the rest of the North Jakarta area. The sky view deck can be used for jogging and climbing.[19]
