Gelora Bung Karno Stadium History
Construction began on February 8, 1960, and was completed on July 21, 1962, in time to host the Asian Games the following month. It was partly built with money from a special loan from the Soviet Union, which is now called Russia.
The stadium’s original capacity of 110,000 was reduced to 88,306 as a result of renovations for the 2007 AFC Asian Cup. The stadium is known for its ring-shaped façade, the temu gelang also called the giant ring, which was designed to protect spectators from the sun and increase the grandeur of the stadium.
