Bima Stadium

Bima Stadium is a sports facility in Cirebon with a grass playing field surrounded by concrete bleachers that accommodate around 15,000 spectators. The structure follows a traditional layout with straightforward design for football matches and other sporting events.

The stadium was built and opened by the Cirebon district government in 1972 as the first major sports facility in the region. Its construction marked a turning point for organized sports development locally.

The stadium takes its name from Bhima, a central warrior in the Mahabharata epic, showing how local communities link sports with their mythological traditions. This connection demonstrates how important cultural stories shape the identity of public spaces in the region.

The venue is located on Jalan Stadion Bima in West Cirebon and is easy to find by asking locals for directions. Visitors should check when local football clubs have home matches to plan their visit and enjoy the atmosphere.

While the stadium was built in the 1970s, it received major infrastructure upgrades in 2017 to improve conditions. These updates were carried out while keeping the original architectural style from its early years intact.
