Indonesia Gains Major Backing from International Federations to Host Global Sports Event

Indonesia has received major backing from presidents of international sports federations (IFs) during the recent IF Forum at The Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. This support coincides with the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) positive stance on Indonesia’s bid to host a significant global sports event.

The forum united global sports leaders who acknowledged Indonesia’s growing capabilities and enthusiasm in organizing large-scale international competitions. Raja Sapta Oktohari, Chairman of Indonesia’s Sports Committee, expressed optimism about the country’s preparedness, emphasizing the country’s diligent efforts in infrastructure, athlete development, and fan engagement.

Key Highlights from the Forum

• Acknowledgement of Indonesia’s successful management of multi-sport events such as the Southeast Asian Games.
• Indonesia’s strategic geographical location and passionate sports culture, seen as key advantages.
• Recognition of Indonesia’s commitment to meeting the demanding standards for world-class events.

The endorsement from IF presidents strengthens Indonesia’s bid, which is aligned with IOC’s goals to advance regional sports development and create a lasting legacy. This event could elevate Indonesia’s role as a central hub for international sports within Asia.

Impact and Future Prospects

1. Boost Indonesia’s international profile in the sports arena.
2. Develop local sports infrastructure to global standards.
3. Inspire and motivate the next generation of Indonesian athletes.

Alongside enthusiastic support from fans and commitments from local governments to enhance venues, Indonesia is poised to make a compelling case to the IOC. Formal presentations and further engagements with individual sports federations are planned, with the final decision expected later this year.
