JAKARTA - PBVSI intends to nominate Indonesia to host the 2025 Volleyball World Cup. This intention has the blessing of the government.

The Minister of Youth and Sports (Menpora) Dito Ariotedjo, the Indonesian government asked the PBVSI management to convey the necessary needs to run.

"I was asked to coordinate the preparations and readiness needed by PP PBVSI. From the government side, we must prepare it immediately," said the Minister of Youth and Sports during the inauguration of the 2023-2027 PBVSI management in Jakarta, Tuesday, August 15.

Dito said the government is currently trying to make Indonesia host world championships, especially sports that are considered popular, such as volleyball.

"I think the government's commitment to volleyball is very high. This is an opportunity that must also be achieved by PP PBVSI. So in the future I hope we will intensify communication and coordination," said the Menpora, as reported by Antara.

Furthermore, the Menpora, encourages regions to have a volleyball arena that can accommodate a large number of spectators, at least one arena on each island.

This, according to the Menpora, is an effort to advance volleyball to be more equitable so that later in organizing the league it can bring high income to the regions.

"So later the league will be healthier, the club will also be healthier, and will certainly produce better athletes," said the Menpora.

In this case, the Ministry of Youth and Sports together with PBVSI are pushing for an increase in volleyball, both in terms of coaching, infrastructure, and the ecosystem.

This is also what underlies the Menpora to encourage the holding of the Volleyball World Cup in Indonesia in the hope that it can have a positive impact on Indonesia.

"This is one of the commitments of how the government wants this volleyball sport to have a higher and more massive achievement in society," concluded the Menpora.
