I.League Announces Stadium Evaluation Results for 2026/27 Season

Indonesian football's I.League has finalized its evaluation of stadium infrastructure for the upcoming 2026/27 season, a critical step in the Club Licensing Cycle. The league assessed stadiums proposed by all 18 Super League clubs, ensuring they meet the required standards for professional competition. This process is vital for maintaining the integrity and quality of matches played across the country.

League Director Ferry Paulus highlighted the evaluation's importance, stating it's part of the club licensing process to guarantee that submitted infrastructure adheres to established norms. Several clubs have put forward multiple stadium options to ensure operational flexibility. For instance, Persija Jakarta nominated both the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium and the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS), while Dewa United Banten FC offered the Banten International Stadium and Stadion Indomilk Arena.

Newly promoted clubs have also identified their home grounds. Persijap Jepara proposed Stadion Gelora Bumi Kartini, PSIM Yogyakarta selected Stadion Sultan Agung, and Adhyaksa FC designated Banten International Stadium. Despite passing this initial infrastructure review, the I.League cautioned that the list is not yet final. Clubs must still complete further verification, operational inspections, and other licensing requirements. Stadium usage could also change due to ongoing renovations or technical needs, underscoring the dynamic nature of venue preparation for the new season.
