Youth and Sports Minister Erick Thohir said winning the 2026 AVC Men's Volleyball Cup in India is a momentum for the Indonesian national volleyball team to continue making history and bringing honor to the nation and country in the future.
According to him, this achievement could be a reinforcement to build a tradition of sustainable achievements in Asia, while also increasing the competitiveness of the Red and White Team in international events in the future.
"This will also serve as a basis for future improvements, whether for the 2027 SEA Games in Malaysia. So, whatever happens, it can become a tradition for the national volleyball team, ensuring its ranking continues to improve both in Southeast Asia and the Asian Games," Erick said.
He stated that winning this prestigious event was an important starting point for the men's national volleyball team to build a tradition of consistent achievement up to the Asian level.
Therefore, all relevant stakeholders must support continuity in coaching towards various international championships.
