JAKARTA - Public figure Cinta Laura Kiehl has been appointed as the ambassador for the Indonesia FIBA World Cup 2023. Obviously, this is a tough task.
This is because Cinta Laura has a role to socialize the 2023 FIBA World Cup to various elements of society.
Cinta Laura admits that she is not an athlete. However, she is confident that she can carry out her duties as an ambassador for the 2023 FIBA World Cup well because she has had a passion for basketball since school.
"Perbasi and LOC consider my activeness in sustainability (concern for a sustainable environment), where FIBA also implements this," Cinta Laura said on the official Kemenpora website.
Later, there will be many agendas that must be followed by this Indonesian-German mixed woman. One of them is visiting schools to educate students that sustainability is important, especially in basketball.
"Social activities are important, educating students, young people, including developments in the world of Indonesian basketball," she said.
Cinta also emphasized that even though Indonesia has only played the role of host and has not yet participated in the FIBA World Cup, the Indonesian people should not be discouraged.
She is sure that success as a host will also be a motivator for the national team to excel in the future.
"Currently, Indonesia has just become the host. From here, we hope to inspire and encourage everyone, especially basketball athletes. Later, Indonesia can also play at the world level," the 29-year-old woman believes.

"I really appreciate the presence of Cinta Laura as FIBA's new ambassador. Hopefully, this will further excite Indonesia as the host," said the Menpora, as quoted by Antara.
Cinta's support is believed by Menpora to be a very meaningful encouragement in Indonesia's efforts to organize this event.
"Because this event does not belong to one or two people, but belongs to and is the pride of all of us. So the success of the 2023 FIBA World Cup is ours, it is our pride," stressed the youngest minister in President Joko Widodo's cabinet.
