Ikada Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia, designed by pioneering Indonesian modern architect Liem Bwan Tjie.[2]The name Ikada only appeared during the Japanese occupation, Ikada is an abbreviation of Ikatan Atletik Djakarta (Jakarta Athletic Association). Previously, this field was founded in colonial times by Governor-General Herman Willem Daendels (1818) and was first called Champ de Mars because it coincided with the conquest of the Netherlands by Napoleon Bonaparte. When the Dutch succeeded in reclaiming their country from France, the name was changed to Koningsplein (King's Field) but people preferred to call it Gambir Field, which is now immortalized as the name of the nearby train station.[3] Then after independence it was used as a match stadium for Indonesian national football team [4] as well as Indonesian National Games in 1951. The capacity of the stadium is 30,000 spectators. It was the largest stadium in Jakarta before being replaced by Gelora Bung Karno Stadium in 1962. [5]
The stadium was demolished in 1963 to become a Indonesian National Monument. Currently the site is used for Merdeka Square.
