JAKARTA - No one stepped on the grass of the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Central Jakarta, during the holy mass led by Pope Francis, Thursday, September 5.

The football field grass, which will be used to face Australia in the third round of World Cup qualifiers, Tuesday (10/9/2024), was not used during mass celebrations. The grass was also not covered at all, it's just that the field was fenced.

The people who attended the holy mass were in the stands of the stadium and also beside the field.

Previously, the Gelora Bung Karno Complex Management Center (PPKGBK) confirmed that it would not close the grass on the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium during the Pope Francis mass. This was also seen during mass.
