Perbasi Jajal 3 New Names For Pre-qualification Of The 2024 Paris Olympics

JAKARTA The Central Board of the Indonesian Basketball Association (PP Perbasi) brought three debutants to Syria for the 2024 Paris Olympics Qualification Pre-Coordination.

The national basketball parent brought a total of eleven names departing for Syria on Wednesday, August 9, 2023. They were led by Indonesian National Team Manager Jeremy Imanuel Santoso.

The three new names summoned by the Indonesian national team for this international event are Antoni Erga, Reza Guntara, and Pandu Wiguna.

They were brought along with the names who were already poor in the national team. Call it Yudha Saputera, Widyanta Putra Teja, Althof Dwi Satrio, Mohamad Arighi, Juan Laurent, Kelvin Sanjaya, Marques Bolden, and Hendrick Xavi Yonga.

"This event is a momentum for players who have never been called up by the national team such as Antoni Erga, Pandu Wiguna, and Reza Guntara to contribute and show skills at the international level," said Jeremy.

Furthermore, Jeremy said, currently these names are the best players who will carry the name of Indonesia in Syria following the large number of injured players.

Some of the names that could not be brought up due to injury were Agas Goantara, Arki Dikania Wisnu, Andakara Prastawa, Brandon Jawato, and Vincent Kosasih. Meanwhile, several other names could not participate for personal reasons.

"With this condition, it is an opportunity for players who have not previously been summoned by the national team for international events to show themselves," he said.

This trip to Syria is the first step for Indonesian basketball towards the 2024 Paris Olympics. If you win the Pre-qualification of this Olympics, the Indonesian national team will qualify for next year's Olympic Qualification round as an Asian representative.
