The stadium was named after Agus Salim , a Muslim intellectual and national hero of Minangkabau from the area where the stadium is located . The 2009 Sumatra earthquakes heavily damaged the stadium . The stands were destroyed and there was damage to facilities , including lighting . The dressing rooms were also damaged , and the resultant condition of the field rendered the stadium unfit for use . Repairs were completed in 2012
