The initial death toll was put at 174, though this has since been revised. The Indonesian football association has announced that an investigation had been launched.
Flags were flown at half-mast at FIFA's headquarters in Zurich and Infantino released a short video message in which he offered his condolences.
"The football world is in a state of shock following the tragic incidents that have taken place in Indonesia at the end of the match between Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya at the Kanjuruhan Stadium," he said.
"This is a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension. I extend my deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims who lost their lives following this tragic incident," he added.
"Together with FIFA and the global football community, all our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, those who have been injured, together with the people of the Republic of Indonesia, the Asian Football Confederation, the Indonesian Football Association, and the Indonesian Football League, at this difficult time."
FIFA states that on no condition should tear gas be used by police or stewards at matches.
