JAKARTA The seriousness of the host West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) in collaborating on the preparation and implementation of the VIII 2025 National Community Sports Festival (Fornas) makes participants feel comfortable.
Organizing the 2025 Fornas VIII is NTB's first experience hosting a national multi-branch sporting event. However, they managed to make all the contingents give thumbs up.
Rahmat, one of the officials from the East Kalimantan Kormi contingent, said that NTB really worked everything seriously and barely left any flaws.

"We are satisfied with the service of the local committee, both transportation problems and food problems. Not only did it come as scheduled, but the food menus provided also varied," said Rahmat.
Hasan, an official from the South Kalimantan Kormi contingent and the Central Papua catapult coach, Hendrik Tamher, also conveyed the same impression.
Hendrik, who was first involved in the biennial public sporting event, admitted that the host had received praise for all their outstanding work.
"Food is never too late and the menu is also good. The people are also friendly and we feel comfortable here," he said.
The view of food was also conveyed by Sarah, a student of the Bali Polytechnic University, who took advantage of her college vacation to strengthen the Central Papua contingent.
"Food does come before time. We are happy to be able to compete here," said Sarah, who admitted that she had pursued weightlifting.
Meanwhile, Hasan spoke about the venue for the Indonesian Traditional Sports Preservation Association (Portina). He admitted that he did not question the location of this sport even though the competition had been stopped due to rain.
"There is no problem. The place for traditional sports matches is in accordance with the standards," he said.
The VIII National Community Sports Festival (Fornas) will be held at 36 venues in seven NTB Regencies/Cities from July 26, 2025 to August 1, 2025. There are approximately 18 thousand participants and officials participating.
