Indomilk Arena (formerly Benteng Taruna Stadium) is a multi-purpose stadium in Kelapa Dua, Tangerang Regency, Banten, Indonesia. It is used as the home venue for Persita Tangerang and Dewa United F.C. of Liga Indonesia.[1]
The stadium's name, for sponsorship reason, is named after Indomilk, a dairy subsidiary of Indofood.[2]
History
[edit]In 2021, Persita Tangerang officially changed the name of the Benteng Taruna stadium to Indomilk Arena. The stadium name change was made after an agreement with their main sponsor, PT Indofood Sukses Makmur. The commercialization of the stadium name is the first in Indonesian football.[3]
In international football, the use of stadium names for commercial purposes is very common. For example, Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, Manchester City's Etihad Stadium or Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena.
Indofood itself is one of the companies that is the main sponsor for many teams in the Indonesian League. There are nine clubs that display the name Indofood on the front page of their jerseys, including Persita Tangerang. The renovation started in May 2024. [4]
Facilities
[edit]The stadium is the main arena of Tangerang Kelapa Dua Sport Center, which consists of this stadium, a sport center/gymnasium, a wall for climbing, a softball and baseball field. The stadium is designed for a capacity of 30,000. The construction started in 2014 and finished in 2018.[5]
