Locals call it Stadion Harapan, "Stadium of Hope", a nickname used alongside the official name honouring former Papua governor Lukas Enembe. The Papua-themed ornamentation and the coloured exterior lights switched on at night are the features visitors notice, and the ground serves as home base for Persipura Jayapura in Liga 2.
The stadium stands in the Lukas Enembe Sports Complex at Nolokla, Sentani Timur, between the Cyclops Mountains to the north and Lake Sentani to the south. It is the home ground of Persipura Jayapura for Liga 2 matches, so match days are the times it fills up.
The stadium is named after Lukas Enembe, a former governor of Papua. Its construction drew on the special autonomy fund together with the national budget and the Papua provincial budget, at a total cost of around IDR 1.3 trillion. Persipura Jayapura plays its home matches here in Liga 2.
