Kanjuruhan Stadium (Indonesian: Stadion Kanjuruhan) was a multi-purpose stadium in Malang Regency, East Java, Indonesia. It was used mostly for football matches. The stadium held 21,700 spectators.[1] It was the home ground of Arema, a football team in Liga 1. It was also used by Persekam Metro Kabupaten Malang of the Liga 3. It was named after the Kingdom of Kanjuruhan, an 8th-century Hindu kingdom in present-day Malang area.
In aftermath of the 2022 disaster, after meeting with FIFA President Gianni Infantino on 18 October 2022, President Joko Widodo issued orders to deactivate Kanjuruhan Stadium and demolish and rebuild the stadium according to FIFA standard.[2][3]
