JAKARTA The Indonesian badminton team will fly early to France ahead of the French Open 2024 on March 5-10, 2024.

Jonathan Christie and his friends departed on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, to Chambly City, 40 kilometers north of Paris.

Chambly is a commuter in Oise's department which is planned to be the training camp for the Indonesian badminton team ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Head of Foreign Relations Division of PP PBSI, Bambang Roedyanto, explained why Chambly was a priority.

"Indeed, since two or three years ago, several cities have offered training camp venues for the Indonesian badminton team for the 2024 Paris Olympics," said Roedy.

"Last year, Rionny (Mainaky) and I conducted a survey and saw the readiness, seriousness, and facilities and infrastructure offered. Chambly is our priority choice because it is in line with the needs needed," he said.

Roedy added that the schedule for the French Open 2024 which was advanced as a test event brought its own luck.

In addition to being able to try out the new Paris 2024 Olympic venue, namely Adidas Arena, the Indonesian badminton team can also try directly the training camp venue. Something that has never been done in the previous Olympic edition.

"The 2024 Open will run the schedule because it will be a test event for a new hall. So, all of us should also try a candidate for a training camp. We will be there for three days for a training camp," said Roedy.

"We consider this to be the initial simulation of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The arrangements are adjusted to the conditions in July 2024. The goal is how the aclimatization and adaptation run optimally," said Roedy.
