Team Indonesia has reset its focus on this year’s Tokyo Olympics and
Paralympics after the ASEAN Para Games in the Philippines was postponed
indefinitely over fears of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
The country, however, is prepared to return its attention to preparations
for the Para Games once the Philippines announces a new date for the biennial
event.
Indonesia has allocated Rp 143.2 billion (US$10.4 million) to hold training
camps for the Olympics, Asian Games and Southeast Asian (SEA) Games.
The budget is for a four-year training program that includes this summer’s
Olympic Games and Paralympics in Tokyo, the 2021 SEA Games, the 2022 Asian
Games and the 2024 Olympics in Paris, the Youth and Sports Ministry said in a
statement on Tuesday.
"We're expected to use Rp 99 billion for training camps of Olympics
sports, while the Rp 44 billion is allocated for camps of sports featured at
the 2022 Games, 2024 Olympics and 2021 SEA Games," the statement read.
The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) is set to receive a budget of
Rp 18.6 billion for its camp, the Indonesian Weightlifting, Powerlifting and
Bodybuilding Association (PABBSI) will receive Rp 10 billion and the Indonesian
Volleyball Association (PBVSI) will receive Rp 3.2 billion.
For the Paralympics, the government has allocated Rp 80 billion for
training camps.
“The [Rp 80 billion] budget is allocated for the [2020] Paralympics and
ASEAN Para Games training camps.
“However, due to the delay we prioritize the use of the budget for the Paralympics.
Once the Philippines announces the new date of the 2020 Para Games, we will
switch back to the former budget arrangement,” the ministry said. (nkn)
