Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium, also known as Jakabaring Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Gelora Sriwijaya; literally "Sriwijaya Sports Arena Stadium"), is a multi-purpose stadium located in Jakabaring Sport City complex in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Holding 23,000 spectators.,^[1] the stadium is currently used mostly for football matches. The construction began in 2001 and finished in 2004 to host the 2004 Indonesia National Games.^[2] The stadium was initially named as Jakabaring stadium after the location of the stadium in southern outskirt of Palembang. However, later the stadium was renamed "Gelora Sriwijaya", to honor and celebrate the 7th—13th century Indonesian empire of Srivijaya. The Third Place Playoff of the 2007 AFC Asian Cup was held in this stadium. The football club Sriwijaya is based at the stadium.^[3]

History

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 and 2013 Islamic Solidarity Games in Palembang.^{[citation needed]}^[6]^[7]^[8]

The main tribune on west and east side (A and B) is covered with two large steel arch.
