History
Kanjuruhan Stadium was built in 1997 with an estimated construction cost of Rp 35 billion. On 9 June 2004, the stadium was inaugurated for use by President Megawati Soekarnoputri, marked by a trial match in the middle of the 2004 Indonesian First League Division between Arema and PSS Sleman. The game ended in a 1–0 victory for Arema.[2]
It was also renovated in 2010 for the 2011 AFC Champions League in terms of adding lighting power.
In the aftermath of the 2022 disaster, after meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino on 18 October 2022, President Joko Widodo issued orders to deactivate Kanjuruhan Stadium and demolish and rebuild the stadium according to FIFA standards.[3][4] The rebuilding process was completed on 31 December 2024, costing Rp 350 billion, making Kanjuruhan Stadium the most expensive stadium ever built in Indonesia.[5] Minister of Public Works Dody Hanggodo expected the stadium to be strong enough for 30 - 40 years.[5]
On 17 March 2025, Kanjuruhan Stadium was officially reopened by President Prabowo Subianto along with 16 other renovated stadiums.[6]
