Members of an event crew strike tents and decorations for the 2018 Asian Games on Monday (3/9/2019) at the Gelora Bung Karno sports complex in Senayan, Jakarta. The two-week multisport event was deemed a success in its organization and the athletes’ performances, as well as in its economic returns.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS – The government will work to maintain the momentum of Indonesian sports resurgence following the successful 2018 Asian Games, including by establishing sustainable athlete development to prepare for the 2020 Olympics, the 2022 Asian Games, the 2024 Olympics and beyond.  A multiyear athletics development fund will be established to prevent national training camps (pelatnas) from ceasing due to a lack of funding.

These were the topics of discussion in a 2018 Asian Games evaluation coordinating meeting at the Office of the Coordinating Human Development and Culture Minister in Jakarta on Monday (3/9/2018). Youth and Sports Ministry secretary Gatot S. Dewa Broto, Indonesian Asian Games chef de mission Syafruddin and Finance Ministry director of human development and culture budgeting Purwanto attended the meeting.
