JAKARTA - The prestigious volleyball competition in Indonesia, Proliga 2023, will start from January 5 to March 5. In this new season, Proliga will use a new breakthrough, namely presenting a video challenge.

The decision to present this video challenge is a realization of the request made by the players, clubs and sponsors. This was conveyed by Hanny S. Surkatty as Director of Proliga.

"This is the first time in Indonesia a competition has a video challenge," said Hanny S.Surkatty sumringah after a press conference in the Central Jakarta area, Friday, December 30.

"The decision to present this video challenge is indeed a request from the club and sponsors to make it more interesting," continued the director.

In the Proliga 2023 competition, the video challenge will begin to be used in the final four phase to the grand final. That period will be a trial period for the operation of advanced technologies that can help the referee.

"We will try this first in the final four to the grand final. In the future, all matches from the regular round will use this technology," he said.

Regarding the timing of using video challenge in the final four to the grand final, Hanny explained why the system was not used from the start of the competition.

"Indeed, we just tried it in the final four and the grand final because we can only do the time. But we are also ordering so we can have our own," he said.

"We bring the tool from an international federation, as well as we hire officers who can operate it, we bring everything here (Indonesia)," explained Hanny.

For the Proliga 2023 competition, there will be eight men's teams and six women's teams that will compete. Held in eight cities in Indonesia, the competition will start at GOR Jalak Harupat Bandung and ends in Yogyakarta.
