Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Taufik Hidayat has requested that the plan to send 1,110 athletes and 440 coaches to the 2025 SEA Games be reviewed by a review team .
"With such a large number of athletes, is the budget sufficient for both travel and winning gold medals?" Taufik Hidayat said in Jakarta on Tuesday.
He made this statement in response to a report submitted at a meeting with Review Team Chair Yunyun Yudiana and her members regarding the preparation of Indonesian athletes for the 2025 SEA Games.
The Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports explained that Indonesia had never sent more than a thousand athletes to the SEA Games, except when Indonesia acted as host.
