World cup is one the biggest sport events that can be enjoyed by the people around the globe. World Cup 2018 will be held on June 14^th to July 15^th 2018 with Russia as the Host. In order to make people with disabilities around Indonesia enjoy the event, the Football Momentum Asia (FMA) acknowledges RRI to be the licensed Radio Broadcaster of World Cup 2018. After a press conference at the Galeri Triprasetya RRI on Tuesday, January 30^th 2018, Chairman of The Football Momentum Asia (FMA) David Kim to Voice of Indonesia said the main reason he chooses RRI as the licensed radio broadcaster of world cup 2018.

“For me radio has more public interest than anything else and this is business but at the same time we need to do something that is going to benefit everybody and absolutely everybody especially the 1.5 percent of the population that cannot see and enjoy the game, why shouldn’t they. So it is the only choice for me ‘cause everybody else is going to turn it into commercial gimic and it is enough with television so that was my main reason for working with RRI,” said David Kim.

On the same occasion the Memorandum of understanding (MOU) between Radio Republik Indonesia and FMA was signed. RRI which has more than 90 radio stations in Indonesia is hoped to bring the World Cup until the remote areas in Indonesia. The press conference and the launching of RRI as the licensed Radio Broadcaster was also attended by a member of Presidential Advisory Council, Agum Gumelar, Secretary of Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs Gatot Dewabroto, the National Broadcasting Commission Chairman Yuliandri Darwis and RRI management staff// (VOI/NK)
