THUMBS UP FOR GELORA BUNG KARNO STADIUM

The English football club will be heading to these parts later this year and where they will play one game in the capital city of Jakarta with the 80,000 capacity of the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium already identified as the venue.

The delegates to Jakarta consisted of four representatives from Manchester United and three from promoters ProEvents.

“The facility at the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium is certainly impressive and I don’t think that we will need any improvements. We will just need to finalise the schedule,” said Julian Kam, the chief executive officer of ProEvents after the inspection.

“They are very happy with the condition at the Gelora Bung Karno which means that we are now just waiting for the kick-off time of the match against Manchester United,” said Nugraha Besoes, the general secretary of the Indonesia FA (PSSI).
