Traffic Diversions Implemented Around GBK for National Football Match; Spectators Urged to Use Parking Facilities

In anticipation of the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 football matches, robust security and traffic management measures are being implemented around the Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK) in Central Jakarta. The event includes a match between the Indonesian national team and Singapore. A combined force of 3,852 personnel will be deployed to ensure the safety of all proceedings, from the arrival of teams and spectators to their departure post-match. According to Kombes Pol Budi Hermanto, Head of Public Relations for the Jakarta Metropolitan Police, traffic diversions will be enacted situationally, based on vehicle volume and on-ground traffic conditions. "As long as the vehicle flow is smooth, traffic will proceed normally. Diversions will only be implemented if there is an increase in density on the routes leading to or around the GBK area," Budi stated. Officers have been stationed on key roads to manage traffic, and diversion patterns will be adjusted according to the developing situation during the match. Key Roads Prepared for Diversions Budi explained that if congestion occurs on Jalan Gerbang Pemuda, vehicles from the Semanggi direction heading towards Gerbang Pemuda will be directed straight towards Slipi. If congestion occurs on Jalan Asia Afrika, vehicles from the Senayan City direction can be diverted towards Senayan Gate 1. In case of congestion on Jalan Gatot Subroto, traffic diversions can be made via the Semanggi area or the Slipi-Petamburan route. These patterns will be adapted to the direction of the vehicles and the traffic conditions at the time. The police also strongly urge spectators who bring private vehicles to use the provided parking facilities. Parking vehicles on the roadside is prohibited as it can obstruct traffic flow.
