Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox venue The Indonesia Arena is a multipurpose indoor arena at the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex in Jakarta, Indonesia. Completed in June 2023, it has a maximum seating capacity of 16,500 and served as one of the venues of the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.

History

Construction

Indonesia was appointed as co-hosts along with the Philippines and Japan for the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup. However, Indonesia needed a suitable venue with a seating capacity of at least 8,000 to meet FIBA standards.[1][2] Existing venues include the Istora Senayan within the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex with up to 7,200 people[2] and The BritAma Arena which can sit only 5,000 people.[3] The government decided to construct a new indoor arena for the World Cup instead.

In a meeting between Indonesian Basketball Association (PERBASI) chairman Danny Kosasih and President Joko Widodo, the latter promised to build a new basketball venue for the World Cup while the former requested the new venue to have a capacity of around 15,000 to 20,000 seats.[2]

Construction for the then-unnamed venue began in December 2021.[4][5] The site of the new venue is on a land previously occupied by a helicopter pad at the Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex.[3]

The Ministry of Youth and Sports announced in July 2022, that the indoor arena would be named "Indonesia Arena".[6]

Inauguration

The Indonesia Arena was officially inaugurated on 7 August 2023 by President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo.[7]

Facilities

The Indonesia Arena is a multipurpose indoor arena which can be used for various indoor sports, such as basketball, badminton and volleyball, as well as non-sports activities such as concerts. It has a maximum seating capacity of 16,500 which can be reduced temporarily if needed.[6]
