The Bung Karno Sports Complex (Indonesian: Gelanggang Olahraga Bung Karno), better known as Gelora Bung Karno; formerly named the Asian Games Complex (Indonesian: Kompleks Asian Games) and the Senayan Sports Complex (Indonesian: Kompleks Olahraga Senayan) from 1969 to 2001, is a sports complex located in Gelora, Central Jakarta, bordering the Senayan, South Jakarta because of its large location. This sports complex consists of a main stadium, secondary stadium, two main indoor gymnasiums known as the Sports Palace (Istora) and the Indonesia Arena, football fields, aquatic stadium, tennis stadiums (indoor and outdoor), hockey, baseball and archery fields, and other gymnasiums.
Originally built with substantial Soviet assistance, this sports complex was a brain child of Sukarno, the first President of Indonesia, in order to host the 1962 Asian Games. It was built in 1960, and underwent major renovation for the 2018 Asian Games and Asian Para Games.
