Persib Bandung will return to Stadion Si Jalak Harupat in Kutawaringin, West Java, for its upcoming home fixtures after regional sports officials confirmed the venue’s rental pricing structure ranges up to Rp 160 Juta per Hari depending on the match category and kickoff time.
Venue Shift Driven by Pitch Conditions
According to regional reporting, the club moved its upcoming matches to the Kabupaten Bandung stadium because the pitch at Stadion Gelora Bandung Lautan Api in Gedebage is not yet ready for competitive play. Assistant coach Igor Tolic noted earlier that the GBLA turf failed to meet operational standards required for high-profile fixtures. Consequently, the squad known as Pangeran Biru will host its matches at Si Jalak Harupat instead.
Official Rental Rates and Retribution Rules
The Bandung Regency Youth and Sports Office confirmed receipt of the official tournament operator’s request to use the stadium. Head of Dispora Dicky Anugrah stated that facility usage fees comply with local regional revenue regulations. “Based on that regional regulation, sports facility service retribution applies to parties using SJH for international matches, national football leagues, amateur leagues, or community events,” Dicky said, as cited in regional source materials.
Pricing follows Appendix I of Kabupaten Bandung Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2025, which updates previous tax and retribution rules under Regional Regulation Number 10 of 2023. The tiered fee schedule breaks down as follows:
- International fixtures before 6:00 PM local time: Rp 112 Juta per Hari.
- International fixtures after 6:00 PM local time: Rp 160 Juta per Hari.
- National league fixtures before 6:00 PM local time: Rp 85 Juta per Hari.
- National league fixtures after 6:00 PM local time: Rp 110 Juta per Hari.
Impact on Regional Revenue and Local Economy
Local sports authorities welcomed the club’s temporary return, pointing to broader economic benefits for the Regency. Beyond boosting regional football excitement, hosting major fixtures at the venue is expected to increase local government revenues through regional service retributions while supporting surrounding commerce.
Next Steps and Schedule Checkpoint
Persib prepares to host Manila Digger FC in the Asian Champions League 2 playoff round followed by its opening Liga 1 fixture against PSM Makassar. Fans and officials await official confirmation from PSSI regarding final match schedules and ticketing details for both fixtures.
