The Chairman Of The KONI Resigns, How Is The Preparation Of Kudus Athletes For The 2023 Porprov?

Spokesperson for the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) Kudus Yusuf Istanto confirmed that the resignation of the local KONI chairman would not affect the upcoming agenda that had been organized.

Yusuf, who is also the Coordinator for Sports Law, Kudus KONI, said that the preparation of athletes from various sports in the face of the 2023 Provincial Sports Week (Porprov) was still going well.

"Because before the Chairman of the Kudus KONI, Imam Triyanto, resigned on the grounds that he was unable to carry out his duties, the organizing committee and the achievement committee had been formed to face Porprov 2023," he said in Kudus, Central Java, Friday, June 2, which was confiscated by Antara.

The budget for KONI, he continued, has also been disbursed and has been transferred to each branch management so that it can be used to prepare athletes to face Porprov 2023.

Regarding the vacancy of the chairman of the Kudus KONI, he said, it had been followed up with plenaries and leadership meetings to appoint the acting chairman (Plt) of the Kudus KONI. Furthermore, we are waiting for the inauguration of the Central Java KONI and the decision letter of the Kudus Regent.

The results of the decision of the leadership meeting, he continued, decided that the Deputy Chairman of the Kudus KONI Bambang was appointed as Acting Chairman of the Kudus KONI.

The Head of Sports for the Education, Youth and Sports Office, Kudus Khodori, accompanied by the Head of Sports Development and Empowerment, Widhoro Heriyanto, confirmed that the Chairman of the Kudus KONI, Imam Triyanto, had resigned and had been appointed a temporary replacement.

"We know it only based on oral information, while there is no writing yet," he said.

Whoever is appointed as the captain of the Kudus KONI, is expected to continue preparations for the 2023 Porprov because Kudus is also appointed as one of the hosts of the 2023 Provincial Proprov for eight sports matches.

Among them are fencing, soft tennis, table tennis, badminton, basketball, gate balls, hockey, and kick boxing.

He hopes that Kudus' achievements in the 2023 Porprov event will not decline because the previous period became third place with 69 gold medals, 70 silver medals and 72 medals.
