Ikada Stadium was a multi-use stadium in Jakarta, Indonesia. The stadium was named as an abbreviation of Ikatan Atletik Djakarta (Jakarta Athletic Bond). It was initially used as the stadium of Indonesia national football team matches[1] as well as the 1951 Indonesian National Games. The capacity of the stadium was 30,000 spectators. It was Jakarta's largest stadium before it was replaced with Gelora Bung Karno in 1962.[2]

The stadium was demolished in 1963 to make way to Indonesian National Monument. Today the stadium is the Merdeka Square.
