Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium
The Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Madya Gelora Bung Karno) or simply Madya Stadium is a secondary stadium in Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex with a capacity of 9,170.[1] It is used mostly for track and field athletics training and events. It is located west-northwest of the complex's Main Stadium. Opened in December 1961, it was used as the venue for the 1962 Asian Games hockey event, during which it was known as Senayan Hockey Stadium or Senayan Open Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Terbuka Senayan). After being used for greyhound race betting, the stadium was converted to an athletics stadium and hosted the 1985 Asian Athletics Championships. The stadium was used as the warm-up spot during the 2018 Asian Games and closing ceremony of the 2018 Asian Para Games. This stadium was briefly used by Bhayangkara FC during their 2019 season, amid renovations of their home ground PTIK Stadium.
