JAKARTA - Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Zainudin Amali shared relaxing activities with the coach of the Indonesian national team, Shin Tae-yong. The two of them were seen spending time playing golf in Halim, Jakarta.

Having the opportunity to play golf with Shin Tae-yong, the Minister of Youth and Sports said that he had actually planned this moment long ago. But because of their busy lives, this is the first time it has materialized.

"The desire to play with the coach of the national team has actually been planned for a long time, but has not been carried out because it is hindered by our respective activities," said Minister of Youth and Sports Amali as quoted from the official website of the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Saturday, February 5.

Not only is he good at concocting tactics for the national team, on that occasion, Shin Tae-yong also showed his ability to play golf. He and the Menpora even had time to compete.

This casual meeting was also used by both parties to discuss how Indonesian football will continue in the future.

"While playing golf, we also discussed the development of Indonesian football and the future prospects," said the Minister of Youth and Sports.

This casual meeting between the two ended after completing 18 holes and was followed by lunch together. After that, the Minister of Youth and Sports explained that Shin Tae-yong would return to Bali to lead the national team's training camp before appearing in the 2022 AFF U-23 Cup.

"After finishing the 18-hole game, we enjoyed lunch together before Coach Shin Tae-yong flew to Bali to lead the national team practice which was being prepared for Cambodia next week," said Minister of Youth and Sports Amali.
