Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in Bekasi, Indonesia
Patriot Chandrabhaga Stadium is a large sports facility in Bekasi with a wide field in the center surrounded by seating for thousands of spectators. The layout includes functional areas for players, media, and officials, with straightforward amenities designed to support football matches and regional events.
The original stadium was founded in 1980 and underwent major renovations before reopening in 2014 under its current name. Following a tragedy at another stadium in 2022, safety upgrades were initiated including improved emergency exits and modernized infrastructure.
The stadium's name comes from the Candrabhaga river, not from a patriotic figure. It is home to Persipasi Bekasi, Bekasi City and Persija Jakarta, and its opening on 15 March 2014 featured D'Masiv, Tipe-X, The Neno and Ariel Noah before a friendly in which Persipasi lost 2-0 to Persija.
The stadium sits in Bekasi, West Java, and its renovation added a parking deck able to hold thousands of cars and motorcycles. The 2012 upgrade also built a VIP grandstand for up to 9,000 spectators. Renovation work from late 2023 to mid-2024 added toilets and reworked evacuation routes, so check which gates are open on match days.
The stadium was first built in 1980 as Bekasi Stadium, holding only 5,000 to 10,000 spectators. Its 2011 upgrade into an international-standard ground cost 450 billion rupiah, funded gradually by the Bekasi government. The grandstand roof is made of zincalume metal, and a parking deck holds thousands of cars and motorcycles.
