History

edit

The stadium which began construction on 1 January 2001, was intended to host the XVI PON when the city of Palembang was appointed as the organizer on 2 September 2004.[4] The stadium was named after the maritime empire of Sriwijaya (Srivijaya), which was based in Palembang and succeeded in unifying the western region of the archipelago in the 7th century until 12th century. In addition, this stadium is also the headquarters of the Indonesian football club, Sriwijaya Football Club. AFC verification results make this stadium one of the 3 AFC standard stadiums in Indonesia.[5]

This stadium was used as one of the stadiums that hosted matches in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup as a companion to the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium on the third match day and also the struggle for third place.

This stadium became the main stadium at the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2011 SEA Games[6][7] and 2013 Islamic Solidarity Games in Palembang.[citation needed][8][9][10]

Even women's football was the venue for the 2018 AFF Championship[11][12] and 2018 Asian Games women's football.[citation needed]

The capacity of this stadium is 23,000 spectators, with four tribune (A, B, C, and D) around the main field. The size of main soccer field is 68 x 105 metres, surrounded by eight lanes athletics track and field with red gravel surface. The main tribune on west and east side (A and B) is covered with two large steel arch. Two bulbous blue roofs supported by these arches took form of the sail of the ship, symbolizes Srivijaya as the maritime empire.[13] On the main outer wall on west and east side adorned with songket textile motifs as the cultural identity of Palembang. The main score screen is located on southern tribune (tribune D), while the fire cauldron is located in southern side of the main field between the soccer field and athletic tracks. This stadium also contains three standard squash field.

The stadium underwent renovations prior to the 2018 Asian Games, converting it to an all-seater stadium.[14] Shortly prior to the Games, 335 of the new seats were damaged by fans in the aftermath of a Sriwijaya loss.[15]

Renovation

edit

The South Sumatra Provincial Government (Pemprov) has increased the budget to IDR 20 billion to repair the renovation of the Gelora Sriwijaya Jakabaring (GSJ) Palembang Stadium in preparation for hosting the 2021 FIFA U-20 World Cup.[16] Repairs to the main pitch of the Gelora Sriwijaya Jakabaring Stadium in Palembang have reached 75 percent.[17] The front of the stadium has begun to be repainted. For grass that uses FIFA standards, namely Zaysio Matrela Grass, it is getting neater and is targeted to be perfect by the end of December.[18][19]

Incidents

edit

Sriwijaya lost 0–3 to Arema, 335 seats were damaged due to the actions of supporters during the 2018 Liga 1 match.[20] It is suspected that the anarchist perpetrators were in the North Stand by the Singa Mania group and the South Stand by the Sriwijaya Mania group.[21][22] The Palembang Police have indicated that they will not give permission to Sriwijaya to hold a match in the near future, considering that the 2018 Asian Games are in sight.[20] The South Sumatra Provincial Government and the Indonesian Army personnel have begun repairing the damage to the two spectator stands.[23]
