Indomilk Arena

Overview

About the stadium

Indomilk Arena is a modern football stadium in Kelapa Dua, Tangerang Regency, in Indonesia's Banten province, just west of the capital Jakarta. It serves as the home ground of Persita Tangerang, one of Indonesian football's traditional clubs, and forms the centrepiece of the sprawling Tangerang Kelapa Dua Sport Center.

Fortress reborn

The stadium was originally designed for a capacity of up to 30,000, but following a major renovation in 2024 it now offers a tidy 15,000 single seats. It ranks among the most modern arenas in the country and, beyond league football, has begun to host international fixtures.

History

Journey through time

Construction began in 2014 and was completed in 2018, when Persita Tangerang moved in. The arena replaced the older, cramped Benteng Stadium in central Tangerang and was named Stadion Benteng Taruna, a nod to the region's fortress (benteng) heritage.

A commercial milestone

In 2021 Benteng Taruna became Indomilk Arena after Persita reached an agreement with its main sponsor, the dairy brand Indomilk (part of the Indofood group). This was the first commercialisation of a stadium name in Indonesian football, paving the way for other clubs to follow.

2014–2018: construction
2018: opened as Stadion Benteng Taruna
2021: renamed Indomilk Arena
2024: renovated to 15,000 seats

In 2025 the arena hosted 2026 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification matches, confirming its growing international standing.

Atmosphere

Matchday

The atmosphere at Indomilk Arena is shaped by Persita's supporters, who call themselves Viola and Laskar Benteng Viola. Their signature purple (viola in Italian) floods the stands at every home match, creating one of the most colourful fan backdrops in Indonesia.

A wave of purple

The fans are known for their choreographies, relentless chants and community actions around the stadium. Thanks to the compact layout following the renovation, noise from the stands bounces straight onto the pitch, producing a tight, loud environment.

Supporters: Viola / Laskar Benteng Viola
Colours: purple and white
Trademark: elaborate tifo displays and chanting

Derbies and clashes against Indonesia's big clubs pack the stands and turn the arena into a hotbed of West Java passion.
