JAKARTA - The Indonesian Olympic Committee (NOC Indonesia) confirmed that the disbursement of bonuses for athletes and coaches who won medals at the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand 2025, which was realized 14 days after the closing of the event, was the result of joint work and strong synergy across national sports stakeholders.
President of the Indonesian NOC, Raja Sapta Oktohari, said that the bonus policy for the largest athletes in the history of the SEA Games reflects the direct attention of the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Prabowo Subianto, to athletes and the future of national sports.
"This is a real form of attention from President Prabowo Subianto to the athletes and coaches who have made the nation proud."
"The state is present, not only giving appreciation, but also ensuring that athletes receive the right and timely awards," said Okto, the nickname of Raja Sapta Oktohari.
NOC Indonesia considers the success of the 2025 Thailand SEA Games as the foundation for the next multi-event agenda, including the 2026 Nagoya Asian Games, the 2026 Youth Olympic Games, and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
"This achievement shows that when all elements of Indonesian sports move together, with leadership, governance, so that Indonesian team athletes are able to compete and achieve sustainable achievements," said Okto.
The 2025 Thailand SEA Games is a historic moment for Indonesia. The Indonesian team successfully ranked second in the final standings for the first time since 1995, with 91 gold medals, 111 silver medals, and 131 bronze medals, surpassing the initial target of 80 gold medals.
NOC Indonesia considers this achievement to be the fruit of a comprehensive collaboration, involving the Government, Ministries and Institutions, sports branch federations, coaches, officials, and athletes.
The role of the Chef de Mission (CdM) Team Indonesia, Bayu Priawan Djokosoetono, together with the team from the Indonesian NOC, is considered crucial in ensuring technical readiness, coordination, and protection of the interests of athletes during the competition.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Erick Thohir, emphasized that the distribution of bonuses was carried out directly and transparently as a form of state accountability to athletes.
"To ensure transparency, bonuses are directly distributed to athletes and coaches. This is a form of the state's appreciation as well as a trust for their future," said Erick Thohir.
President Prabowo Subianto in his remarks also emphasized that sports achievements have strategic significance for the honor of the nation.
"Sports is a mirror of the strength of a nation. This award is a form of respect for the country for the sacrifices and struggles of athletes who carry the name of Indonesia," said President Prabowo.
All bonuses were disbursed with a total value of Rp. 465.25 billion, covering athletes and coaches from individual, doubles, to doubles. In addition, the Government together with the NOC of Indonesia also encourages financial literacy so that bonuses are used as long-term supplies, in line with the President's instructions.
