Benteng Reborn Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia. This stadium is owned by the Tangerang City Government. This stadium is used for football matches and is the home of the football club, Persikota Tangerang. This stadium has a capacity of 7,500 people after its renovation.^[1]

The stadium initially failed to meet the Indonesian football league's standards as a home stadium for Liga 2. It has now been renovated, leaving only the west (main) and east stands intact, while the south and north stands have been demolished. It has now been renamed Benteng Reborn Stadium.

Facilities

This stadium is designed like an old football stadium. It is equipped with a football field, the PSSI Tangerang City office, a VIP roof stand, and grandstands. The stadium's building area is 44,000 square meters.

Stadium naming

The stadium's original name was derived from Tangerang's nickname, Benteng (lit. 'Fort'). Hence, the stadium was given the name Benteng Stadium to make it easier for the public to recognize. After renovations, the word "Reborn" was added to give it a more modern feel.

Prohibition of use

In the 2012–13 season, Persita (LI Premier Division) and Persikota (LPI Premier Division) were banned from playing at this stadium after receiving a football ban from the Tangerang City Police and a MUI fatwa due to frequent brawls between Persita (Benteng Viola) and Persikota (Benteng Mania) supporters inside and outside the stadium.^[2] Due to this ban, Persita, which was successfully promoted to the Indonesia Super League, was forced to play half of its matches at Krakatau Steel Stadium in Cilegon and moved to Mashud Wisnusaputra Stadium in Kuningan in the 2013 Indonesia Super League competition. Meanwhile, Persikota had to move its home ground in the second round (LPI Premier Division) at Badak Stadium in Pandeglang.^[3]
