While the main construction is done, officials are still coordinating with national bodies like PSSI on the specifics of stadium usage during the event. The project is financed by both national and regional budgets. "We don't know yet if the organizers will use all the seats. The Mayor wants all seats to be used, but we'll see how it develops with the PSSI committee," Tengku added.

North Sumatra will host the AFF U-19 Cup, featuring 11 Southeast Asian nations, utilizing three main stadiums: Teladan Stadium, North Sumatra Main Stadium, and Madya Stadium. Additionally, several training venues have been prepared to support the participating teams.
