Stadion Dipta – stadium description

The stadium in western, rural outskirts of Gianyar (southern Bali) was built in 2003 to bring Super League to the tourist island. First team to play here was Persegi, but it was dissolved in 2007. Then Bali Devata FC came in 2010, but lasted only a year.

Throughout that time the stadium was severely underinvested. In Indonesia’s climate this meant quick deterioration of its standard. This situation was changed only in 2015,when the area was rural no more (rapid expansion of the city). Bali United was established (from former Persisam Samarinda) and the stadium went through major renovation, including new paintwork and floodlights.
