— Pramono AnungGovernor of DKI Jakarta confirming the provincial government's support for the tournament.

Governor of DKI Jakarta, Pramono Anung, confirmed the provincial government's commitment after discussions with PSSI Chairman Erick Thohir. "The DKI Jakarta Provincial Government fully supports the implementation of the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026," Pramono stated on Monday at the DKI Jakarta City Hall. He emphasized Jakarta's role in ensuring the tournament's success.

If permitted, Mr. Erick, as Minister of Youth and Sports and also Chairman of PSSI, agrees, then one of them is Soemantri Brodjonegoro, the second is Banteng Field.

— Pramono AnungDetailing the specific training fields offered for the tournament.

As a concrete measure, Jakarta has offered two sports fields for team training: Soemantri Brodjonegoro Field and Banteng Field. Initially, the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) was also proposed, but scheduling conflicts with a concert during the tournament period made this option unfeasible.

Actually, we also offered JIS, but because there is a concert at JIS, therefore these two options are likely.

— Pramono AnungExplaining why the Jakarta International Stadium could not be used for training.

The provincial government is prepared to undertake necessary improvements to these fields to meet the teams' training requirements. Beyond facility provision, DKI Jakarta plans to actively promote the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 through public spaces managed by the regional government. This comprehensive support aims to bolster Indonesia's readiness as a host nation and provide an optimal experience for teams and football fans.

We will fully support, including promotion and so on in the open spaces owned by the DKI Jakarta Government, so that this event runs well.
