It’s just that, this season Persija can’t always play in Jakarta.Persija has appeared twice at the Manahan Stadium, Solo.This happened in the match against PSBS Biak and Persik Kediri.
According to Persija coach, Mauricio Souza, who has only experienced the GBK atmosphere, the quality of the grass at Senayan is better than JIS.However, the matter of the atmosphere is another matter.
“The two stadiums [GBK and JIS] are extraordinary, very beautiful. At GBK the pitch is better than JIS. The atmosphere is better at JIS because the spectators are closer,” said Mauricio.
“But, still, the presence of a crowd, I find it difficult to say the best. Both are good for the match,” said the coach from Brazil.
Regarding the match results, JIS is also still haunted.So far, Persija has never lost at JIS.Not only this season, since last season Persija has been undefeated at JIS.
Meanwhile, GBK often becomes history for Persija.The 2017 President’s Cup and 2018 League 1 titles were created at GBK.Persija also always wins the League at GBK.
However, JIS’s maximum capacity has never been truly maximized.If fully opened, like at GBK, JIS’s maximum capacity is 82,000 seats.
It will be interesting to see whether the home match against Persib on 10 May 2026, which usually attracts a lot of supporters, will be held at GBK or JIS.
