That is what makes Ilham hope that JIS can continue to be used for various football competitions, especially those involving young players, and not just stop at the 2021 International Youth Championship (IYC) which is currently underway.

After against Bali United U-18, Atletico U-18 coach Daniel Perez called JIS a magnificent stadium. Meanwhile, Barcelona U-18 midfielder Biel Vicens was honored to appear at JIS.
The Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) is a football stadium with a maximum capacity of 82 thousand spectators, which will be completed in April 2022. The construction process will take three years and include two nearby practice fields.
The JIS field uses hybrid grass. Five percent of the grass is artificial (synthetic) of the ‘imonta’ type and the rest is natural grass from the Zoysia matrella species originating from Boyolali, Central Java.
JIS has not been fully opened. The new soft launching will take place on April 19, 2022 or on the day the final match of IYC 2021 is held.
