It is managed under the jurisdiction of the Kodam III/Siliwangi, the regional military command of West Java.

Its location in the Merdeka district places it within one of the oldest colonial-era administrative zones of Bandung.
Siliwangi Stadium is a historic multi-purpose sports facility located in central Bandung, West Java. It primarily serves as a venue for football matches, track and field training, and community fitness activities. The stadium has served as a home ground for local football clubs, including Persib Bandung, in past decades. It features a natural grass pitch surrounded by an athletics running track and concrete spectator stands. The facility is situated within the military complex area of the Kodam III/Siliwangi command. It remains a central hub for the Bandung public to engage in morning and evening exercise routines. The venue has undergone periodic renovations to maintain its utility as a local sports center. It is not currently used for top-tier professional league matches, which have shifted to larger capacity stadiums in the region.
