Gelora Bung Karno Madya Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Madya Gelora Bung Karno) or simply Madya Stadium is a stadium in Gelora Bung Karno Sports Complex with a capacity of 9,170 (20.000++ for concerts).[1] It is used mostly for track and field athletics training and events. It is located west-northwest of the complex's Main Stadium. Opened in December 1961, it was used as the venue for the field hockey event of the 1962 Asian Games, during which it was known as the Senayan Hockey Stadium or the Senayan Open Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Terbuka Senayan). After falling into severe disrepair and even being used for illegal greyhound racing at some point, the stadium was renovated, converted to an athletics stadium and hosted the 1985 Asian Athletics Championships. The stadium was used as a warm-up spot during the 2018 Asian Games and closing ceremony of the 2018 Asian Para Games. This stadium was briefly used by Bhayangkara during their 2019 season, amid renovations of their home ground PTIK Stadium.
