North Sumatra Stadium (Indonesian:Stadion Utama Sumatera Utara), is anassociation football stadium in the center of the North Sumatra Sports Center inDeli Serdang Regency,North Sumatra,Indonesia, located about 8.2 km (5.1 miles) southwest ofKualanamu International Airport. It has a capacity of 25,750 people. The stadium was built for the2024 National Sports Week, where it hosted the closing ceremony. PresidentJoko Widodo opened the stadium officially on October 15, 2024.[6][7]
North Sumatra Stadium is designed specifically for football, without the athletics track commonly found in Indonesian stadiums. This results in a closer proximity between the pitch and the stands. The stadium is built on a 48,420 square meter land area with a building area of 27,452 square meters. It has a capacity of 25,750 spectators with individual seats. There are 365 seats in the VIP and VVIP stands, and 46 seats specifically designed for people with disabilities. North Sumatra Stadium is also equipped with solar panels to generate its own electricity.[8]
The stadium is equipped with direct rail access fromKualanamu International Airport via theairport rail link. There is also electric bus service at Mebidang that provides direct transportation from both the airport and from the direction ofMedan. Meanwhile, those using private vehicles can take theTrans Sumatra Toll Road, which can be accessed from various cities.
In 2024, the North Sumatra Stadium served as the venue for the closing ceremony of the21st National Sports Week (PON XXI), which was co-hosted by the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra. Although the football tournament took place in different venues, the stadium was chosen as the official site to conclude the country's largest multi-sport event, highlighting its modern facilities and regional significance.[9]
In June 2025,PSMS Medan, one of Indonesia’s most historic football clubs, announced that they would temporarily use the North Sumatra Stadium as their home ground for the IndonesianLiga 2 competition. This decision was made while their traditional home,Teladan Stadium, underwent major renovations.[10]
In August 2025, the stadium hosts aninternational friendly tournament called theIndependence Cup (Piala Kemerdekaan), featuring theIndonesia U-17 national team, as part of their preparation for the2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup inQatar. These matches marked the first international football fixtures held at the venue, showcasing its readiness to support youth-level international competitions.[11][12] Indonesia is competing againstTajikistan,Uzbekistan, andMali.[13]
The North Sumatra Stadium is proposed as one of four main stadiums by theFootball Association of Indonesia (PSSI) in the country's official bid to host the2031 AFC Asian Cup. Alongside other major venues across Indonesia, the stadium was highlighted for its compliance with FIFA and AFC infrastructure standards, including seating capacity, accessibility, and energy-efficient features.[14]
