JAKARTA - Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (BUMN) who is also a member of the FIBA board Erick Thohir praised the achievements of the Women's Basketball National Team by winning a historic gold medal at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia.

"Congratulations and extraordinary achievements. Prove that Perbasi as the parent organization has also done its best for years. Has professional and transparent management," said Erick Thohir, quoting Antara, Sunday, May 14.

After the match between Indonesia and Singapore with a score of 86-39, Erick Thohir, who watched the final match at the Morodok Techno Stadium, Phonm Penh, was moved by the extraordinary achievement of the Women's Basketball National Team.

The Women's Basketball national team made history with its first time winning gold in the biggest sporting event in Southeast Asia.

The best achievement of the Indonesian Women's Basketball National Team previously was to win three silvers, each at the 1991 SEA Games in the Philippines, 2015 in Singapore, and 2021 in Vietnam.

In fact, the gold achievement at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia was achieved perfectly, namely winning all matches. The Indonesian Women's Basketball national team managed to beat six countries, some of which were won with a big victory.

The Red and White Squad won all matches that used the semi-competition format.

On its way, the Red and White Squad opened the match with a win over Vietnam on Tuesday (9/5) with a score of 67-62.

One day later, the national team narrowly won over Thailand 70-69. On Thursday (11/5), it was Malaysia's turn to become a victim of Indonesia's resilience by locking up the 85-57 victory.

Indonesia then defeated the strong team of the Philippines with a score of 68-89. Then yesterday, they won against the host Cambodia with a score of 100-54. Reporters: Aditya Ramadhan
