TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Gelora Bung Karno sports complex management center (PPKGBK) aimed to hold 30 to 40 events per year in the main stadium of Gelora Bung Karno (SUGBK), just renovated, to cover maintenance fee reaching Rp30 billion a year.
"This stadium can be used by clubs and other commercial events other than soccer," PPKGBK Development director Gatot Tetuko said in Jakarta on Friday (12/1).
Gatot mentioned that opening SUGBK for numerous events is necessary since the government do not allocate budget for GBK.
He claimed that the rental fees of SUGBK is affordable compared to those of other stadiums. Nevertheless, he refused to reveal the amount of the fees.
PPKGBK also declared their readiness to make SUGBK as a home stadium for soccer clubs when playing in a league. One of the clubs is Persija Jakarta that is still in the middle of coordinating with PPKGBK.
However, he reminded, SUGBK’s priority at the moment is to hold Asian Games and Asian Para-Games 2018.
