The Indonesia National Team has officially commenced training at their new dedicated facility within the burgeoning IKN (Ibu Kota Nusantara), marking a significant shift in their preparation strategy. This move to the state-of-the-art sports complex in the new capital signifies a major leap forward in providing world-class infrastructure for Indonesia’s top athletes.
The newly operational football training center at IKN boasts impressive amenities, including three FIFA-standard football pitches featuring premium Zoysia Matrella grass. Equipped with high-quality 800-lux lighting, the fields allow for flexible training schedules, even during evening hours. This dedicated space offers a consistent and professional environment for the national team to hone their skills and tactics.
Beyond the exceptional Indonesia National Team playing surfaces, the IKN facility also provides comprehensive support for the athletes. On-site dormitories, with initial capacity across four buildings (two funded by FIFA, two by the Ministry of Public Works and Housing), offer comfortable and convenient accommodation for players and coaching staff. This centralized setup fosters a stronger team dynamic and streamlines logistical operations, allowing for more focused training.
The decision to establish a dedicated training ground at IKN underscores the Indonesian government’s commitment to elevating the nation’s sporting prowess. By investing in cutting-edge infrastructure, the aim is to provide the national team with the optimal environment to prepare for crucial international competitions. This shift to IKN represents a strategic move to enhance the quality of training and ultimately improve on-field performance.
While the initial phase focuses on football, the broader vision for the IKN sports complex includes facilities for various other sports. Future developments, such as a mini stadium and indoor training areas, promise to further solidify IKN as a premier destination for national sports development.
The training ground shift to IKN signifies a new chapter for the Indonesian National Team. With access to top-tier facilities and a dedicated training environment, the team is poised to embark on a journey towards greater success on the international stage.
