Ministry of Youth and Sports is still preparing the number of Indonesian athletes for the 2025 SEA Games





The Ministry of Youth and Sports is still finalizing the number of athletes who will be sent to the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand on December 9-20.

Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Taufik Hidayat said that until now there has been no official decision regarding the number of athletes to be sent. The selection process and the preparation of the contingent are still being discussed with various parties.

"Not yet, there is no update on the number of athletes for the 2025 SEA Games. The number of athletes is still being discussed," Taufik told reporters in Jakarta, Wednesday.

Taufik emphasized that the Ministry of Youth and Sports together with the Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI) and each sport will sit together to select athletes more selectively. He said only athletes with the potential to win medals will be sent.

"The focus is on those who have the opportunity to win medals. Be it gold, silver, or bronze, depending on the sport. It is impossible for all of them to be world-class athletes, we must also provide opportunities for junior athletes," he said.

Taufik also responded to the revocation of the budget efficiency status that was previously applied to sports. With the revocation, the sending of contingents will return to normal conditions, but still with the principle of strict selection.

"If everyone joins in, it could reach a thousand athletes. That's why this has to be calculated and formulated together," he said.
