This championship is a strategic moment to bring back the glory of the national fencing sport as well as to display Indonesia's tourism and cultural potential to the world.
Amir Yanto ensured that the 2025 Asian Budget Championship was very prestigious because it would be followed by Asian fencing athletes who won the 2024 Paris Olympics gold medal as well as a moment to restore the glory of Indonesia's fencing.
"Indonesia last won a bronze medal at the 2023 Cambodian SEA Games. That's all because Indonesian athletes still lack experience competing at the international level," he said.
To date, 442 athletes from 22 countries in Asia, Australia, and Oceania will be present in Bali in this prestigious event. This number is likely to increase.
Indonesia will later field as many as 25 athletes in international events who compete for 12 gold medals for the men's and women's degenerate, sabel, and floret numbers.
These athletes were caught in an independent national training camp (pelatnas) from the results of the Budget National Championships in Manado 2024. This national training has been going on since February 1, 2025.
