JAKARTA - Marking the opening of the Jakarta International Stadium training field facilities to the public, the ranks of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government held an exhibition match in which the soccer team from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government faced the soccer team from the DKI DPRD.

“Today, we are grateful, we held the opening match as a requirement of a FIFA standard stadium facility. With these two training fields, our JIS is officially a FIFA standard field, and the inaugural match will be the DKI Provincial Government versus the DPRD," said Governor Anies before the match was quoted from a statement from the Jakarta Provincial Government Public Relations, Thursday, October 28.

The exhibition match between the ranks of the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government against the ranks of the DKI Jakarta DPRD is a form of cooperation between the Executive and Legislative bodies in planning the establishment of the FIFA standard stadium.

“Why is the first match between Pemprov vs DPRD? Because, this stadium is the result of the cooperation of the two. This is a collaboration, which implements Jakpro but which implements it as a program is the DKI Provincial Government and DPRD. This approval is the key, so that we can carry out this historic project,” he added.

According to Governor Anies, JIS Stadium is a stadium that is designed not only for the current generation and in the near future, but also for generations to come in the future. That's because this stadium already has a green building standard with a platinum level or the highest standard.

Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) won a score of 63 greenship platinum level for design and building from the Green Building Council Indonesia (GBCI) certification body. GBCI is a member of the World Green Building Council (WGBC) based in Toronto, Canada, consisting of 102 countries around the world.

"I underlined, when we first designed this stadium, we didn't imagine the year 2021 or 2022, but 2041-2061. We want the next generation to come to this stadium to be able to look back and they can say, thank God, the generation of the founders of this stadium has thought of a future-minded building," said Governor Anies.

“A building with an environmentally friendly concept with a platinum level. Why? We want to send a message that Jakarta is ready to become an environmentally friendly city. Everything that was built became a symbol of that," said Anies.

In addition to the exhibition match between the soccer team from the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government and the DKI Jakarta DPRD, there was also a follow-up exhibition match where Persija Legend faced Indonesia All Star.

With the inaugural match at the JIS training field filled with various communities, it indicates that JIS is a public-owned international standard stadium that needs to be maintained and cared for together as one of the city's icons as well as a unifier of the nation.
