President Joko Widodo reminded the relevant ministers as well as the national sports committee that Indonesia's nomination to host the Olympics in 2032 is a momentum for Indonesia to improve the country's image and also all forms of deficiencies, in terms of sports aspects and also sports infrastructure readiness.
"Hosting the Olympics is not something to show off, but a way to improve the image and dignity of the nation. Therefore, we must make this candidacy a momentum to organize ourselves, to improve various things that have been lacking so far. Starting from preparing sports infrastructure, athletes' achievements, increasing global feasibility as an organizing city, and so on," said President Jokowi in a briefing at a limited meeting regarding Indonesia's nomination to host the 2032 Olympics, on Wednesday (4/11/20).
Jokowi stated that Indonesia must quickly adapt and study the new norms set by the IOC (International Olympic Committee), as a guideline to host a good Olympics.
"I also received reports that the IOC is currently setting new norms for hosting a simpler and more cost-effective Olympics. I think this is good and this new norm is important to study and adapt. This new philosophy, the Olympics, is no longer to show luxury but to what extent we can carry out new norms, which are expected to be more cost-effective and simpler," said Jokowi again.
Therefore, Jokowi requested that the roadmap for the nomination of the host for Indonesia be well prepared, following the timeline set by the IOC.
"I ask that the roadmap for our nomination for the 2032 host is really well prepared, based on the timeline set by the IOC. This determination of the host will be set in 2024 and the selection process will begin at the latest in 2023," Jokowi concluded.
To host the 2032 Olympics, Indonesia must compete with Australia, Germany, Korea Unification, Qatar, the People's Republic of China, and India. Selection will take place in 2023 and the official announcement will take place in 2024. (RRI)
