Haji Agus Salim Sport Complex, Sports stadium in Padang, Indonesia
The Haji Agus Salim Sport Complex is a multipurpose stadium in Padang with four separate seating sections for different spectator groups. The facility accommodates football, track and field events, and rugby matches.
Construction began in 1983 to host a large religious gathering, with the venue fully completed by 1985. A major earthquake in 2009 caused significant damage, but extensive repairs and upgrades allowed the facility to reopen in 2012.
The venue is named after a prominent Minangkabau statesman who served in diplomatic roles and represented the region nationally. This choice reflects local pride in the figure and his connection to West Sumatra's identity.
The different seating sections serve specific purposes, so checking signage upon arrival helps you find the right area. Most visitors can easily locate their designated entrance and seating zone.
Each tribune section is dedicated to different crowd types, with the west reserved for VIP guests and the south for local team supporters. This layout shows how the venue brings together various social and sporting communities.
