YOGYAKARTA Island of the Gods will be the host province for the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) of the World Beach Games 2023. Then what is the 2023 Anoc World Beach Games sport to be held in Bali?
As is known, the World Beach Games is the third largest multi-pronged sports competition in the world. While the previous multi-branch sports were the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics.
As the name suggests, in the 2023 World Beach Games, various sports competitions will be held on the beach. The sports that are members of the Beach Games are also diverse, such as beach soccer, beach handball, aquathlon, surfing, and so on. Meanwhile, the organization of the World Beach Games is under the umbrella of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC).
Quoted from the official anocolympic website, the 2023 Anoc World Beach Games which will be held in Bali include Aquathlon, Coastal Handball, Coastal Football, Coastal Tennis, 4times4 Beach Volleyball, Coastal Waterpolo, Coastal Wrestling, Individual Words, 5 Km Open Water Swimming, 3x3 Basketball, Water Badminton, Surfing, Beach Sprint Rowing, and WingFoil Racing.
This event will compete in 14 sports with 1,584 athletes participating from various countries, including Israel.
Quoted from the official website of Kemepora, the World Beach Games is planned to be held in Bali in August. The competition will be attended by 130 countries and as many as 205 countries will participate in the General Assembly ANOC. This event will be held on August 5-12 and will be connected with General Assembly ANOC which will be held on August 13-15.
It should be noted that the Government of Indonesia has an importance behind the implementation of the 2023 Anoc World Beach Games. This event itself was held a second time after the first event was successfully held in Doha, Qatar in 2019. At that time, Indonesia also participated as a participant.
By hosting Anoc World Beach Games, it means opening Indonesia to simultaneously host the Olympics. Even President Jokowi at the G20 Summit which was also held in Bali had planned to hold the 2036 Olympics in the capital city of Nusantara alias IKN.
This means that the 2023 ANOC World Beach Games will be a stepping stone for Indonesia to host the 2036 Olympics. With the successful implementation of the 2023 ANOC World Beach Games, it is hoped that it will be able to bring Indonesia's good image in the international sport world.
In addition, the economic turnover is expected to continue to move as one of the returns. This has been proven by the 2008 Asian Beach Games which was held and initiated by Indonesia. The event was able to boost world confidence in Bali after the Bali bombing tragedy.
Bali itself was chosen to host because it was considered to have a strategic place as well as to have a beautiful beach so that it supported the beach match to be held.
For now, Indonesia as the host is still preparing to welcome the event. The public can monitor the news related to the 2023 Anoc World Beach Games through VOI.ID.
