Gelora Ratu Pamelingan Stadium, Football stadium in Tlanakan, Indonesia.
Gelora Ratu Pamelingan Stadium is a football ground in Tlanakan, about five kilometres south of Pamekasan in East Java, Indonesia. It opened on 18 November 2016 and serves as the home of Madura United FC, Pamekasan FC and Persepam Madura Utama.
The stadium opened on 18 November 2016, inaugurated by Pamekasan Regent Achmad Syafii. In 2017 it was renovated to repair the pitch, and Madura United temporarily moved home matches to Gelora Bangkalan until the ground reopened in July 2017. Two years later PT Polana Bola Madura Bersatu took over management from the Pamekasan regency government and renamed it Stadion Gelora Madura Ratu Pamelingan. A further renovation began in December 2023 at a cost of Rp70 billion.
The stadium's name comes from Nyai Banu, the first Islamic queen of Pamekasan, whose original name was Nyai Banu. Three Madura clubs play home matches here: Madura United FC, Pamekasan FC and Persepam Madura Utama, so the ground is shared by teams from across the island.
The stadium is located in Tlanakan, south of Pamekasan city center, and is most easily reached by car or local transport. On match days the area around the ground fills up quickly, so arriving early makes the visit more straightforward.
The playing surface is planted with Zoysia grass, a variety chosen for how well it holds up in hot and humid conditions. This type of grass is still relatively rare in stadiums of this size across Indonesia.
