Erick Thohir officially became the new Minister of Youth and Sports of the Republic of Indonesia, replacing Dito Ariotedjo, on Wednesday at the State Palace.
The appointment made by President Prabowo Subianto is a strategic decision that reflects the government's grand vision for national sports transformation, youth empowerment, and total support for the Indonesian national football team.
With Erick's track record as a presidential aide who always carries out his mandate with full dedication, it is certain that the 55-year-old man will be upright and loyal to the President.
Based on his impressive achievements in the world of sports, starting from Chairman of PB Perbasi, Chairman of the Indonesian Olympic Committee, to Chairman of the 2018 Asian Games, and now Chairman of PSSI for the 2023-2027 period, Erick is not a new figure in the national sports ecosystem.
