Stadion Kanjuruhan
The ground carries the name of a Hindu kingdom that stood in the Malang area in the eighth century, recorded in the Dinoyo inscription. Building it took seven years from 1997 and about Rp 35 billion, and Megawati Soekarnoputri opened it on 9 June 2004. Arema FC moved in from Gajayana Stadium that year and stayed until 2022; Arema Putri and Persekam Metro FC used it as well. Floodlights added in a later refit brought AFC Champions League matches here in 2011.
On 1 October 2022, Persebaya Surabaya beat Arema FC 3–2 in front of an official 42,588 — far beyond the ground's stated capacity. Supporters came onto the pitch after the final whistle, riot police fired tear gas into the stands, and a crush formed at a locked exit. At least 135 people died, among them 39 children aged between 3 and 17, and 583 were injured. Arema FC played away from Kepanjen from that night on.
The rebuild ran from 2023 to 2024. The old mix of seating and terracing gave way to 21,603 seats: 108 VVIP, 2,465 VIP, 134 for media, 16 for disabled supporters, 4,352 on the East Tribune and 7,264 each on the North and South. A Zoysia matrella pitch went in. Prabowo Subianto reopened the ground on 17 March 2025. Arema FC returned; the largest crowd since is 10,774, against Persija Jakarta on 8 November 2025.
