JAKARTA - DKI Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan is very proud of the soft launching of the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS) which was held last night.

Anies claimed that the soft launching which coincided with the final of the International Youth Championship (IYC) was a historic day. In fact, he views JIS as making Jakarta the largest megapolitan city in the south of the earth.

"This stadium confirms that Jakarta is the largest megapolitan city in the southern hemisphere and as the capital city of ASEAN. This stadium is expected to provide a bright future, as well as be part of an important journey in the history of the Indonesian nation," Anies said as quoted on his Instagram account, Wednesday, April 20.

Anies stated that the new international standard stadium built by the DKI Provincial Government is proof that Indonesia is a great nation because it is able to present works worldwide.

"JIS was built with the spirit of pursuing the perfection of a development process. During its construction process it has recorded various records in the construction world and will become a new benchmark that other nations in the world must pursue," said Anies.

As is known, this Soft Launching series presents an International Youth Championship match that brings Atletico Madrid U-18, Barcelona U-18, Bali United U-18, and Indonesia All-Star U-20 clubs. Two European clubs, Atletico Madrid U18 and Barcelona U18 won a place in the final.

The JIS Soft Launching was enlivened by an art performance on the #StadionKita Night which involved 75 performers to 127 creative workers. IYC was won by Barcelona U-18 with a score of 1-0 beating Atletico Madrid U-18.
