'''Menteng Stadium''' was a [[multi-purpose stadium]] in [[Menteng]], [[Central Jakarta]], [[Indonesia]]. It was used mostly for [[football (soccer)|football]] reserve matches and was the home stadium of [[Persija Jakarta|Persija]] football team. The stadium was built in 1921 with [[Netherlands|Dutch]] architects F.J. Kubatz and P.A.J. Moojen and was named ''Voetbalbond Indische Omstreken Sport'' (''Viosveld'').<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Bola.com |date=2020-07-26 |title=14 Tahun Silam Tergusur, Stadion Menteng Masih Jadi Memori Bagi 2 Eks Persija |url=https://www.bola.com/indonesia/read/4315281/14-tahun-silam-tergusur-stadion-menteng-masih-jadi-memori-bagi-2-eks-persija |access-date=2024-02-12 |website=bola.com |language=id}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Reza |first=A. |title=Sejarah Stadion Menteng, Saksi Lika-liku Persija dan Sepak Bola Jakarta |url=https://www.goodnewsfromindonesia.id/2022/09/01/sejarah-stadion-menteng-saksi-lika-liku-persija-dan-sepak-bola-jakarta |access-date=2024-02-12 |website=www.goodnewsfromindonesia.id |language=id-ID}}</ref><!--The stadium held 30,000 people.
