Conflicting Information
The incident, location and fatality figure are broadly consistent. Several operational details vary between sources.
Sources use different versions of the stadium name.
Uses forms including “GOR Manggala Krida,” “Stadion Manggala Krida,” and “Stadion Widya Manggala Krida.”
Use “Stadion Widya Mandala Krida.”
These appear to refer to the same stadium in Kedungwuni, Pekalongan.
The verified record supports severe overcrowding, but the exact total varies.
Estimate about 8,000–10,000 attendees in a 6,000-capacity venue.
Reports 14,840 sold ticket stubs, with other accounts saying the permit was for 3,000 attendees.
Crowd size should be treated as a range or disputed figure, not a settled number.
Fatalities are stable at 10, but injury figures are not.
Describe “dozens injured” or “many injured.”
Refer to six injured or six seriously injured.
The safest verified wording is that injuries were reported, but the exact total is not consistent across sources.
