JAKARTA - The FIBA World Cup 2023 event has entered its sixth day. The excitement and fierce matches continue to be presented to spectators who visit the Indonesia Arena which is the venue for the match.

Not only the pampered audience, but also the media workers who faithfully reported the big event.

The organizing committee for the FIBA World Cup 2023 did not forget to present facilities that made the media crew feel comfortable while carrying out their duties. Stomach matters are clearly the main concern.

Organizers provide lunch and dinner coupons that journalists automatically get when absent from entering the media room. When exchanging these coupons, journalists will also get a snack box that can be enjoyed while working.

In addition, there is one facility from the FIBA World Cup 2023 committee which is always invaded by media partners on the sidelines of the task force, namely two booths that serve instant noodles that journalists can order for free.

This free instant noodle booth facility is even almost always crowded with local journalists or international journalists.

One of the online media journalists in Indonesia, Melinda Indrasari, admitted that the presence of the booth was quite helpful. Because in the midst of high work demands, he can simply block his stomach by ordering instant noodles rather than having to eat heavily which will definitely take time.

"It's good that there is an instant noodle booth, so we can also order stomach marijuana. While working, you can eat faster noodles. If you have to eat rice, it will take time, so the solution is that noodles can be ordered. Moreover, it seems that international journalists are also interested in ordering," Melinda said.

In addition to instant noodle booths and food served, the committee also presented a special room for massage in front of access to the media stands. For this facility, media partners can access it for free just by showing a media accreditation card.

In the massage room, colleagues in the media can choose to pamper themselves with electric massage chairs or also massaged by therapists who are always on guard. No need to be afraid to queue if you want to use an electric massage chair, because the committee provides three units, each operating for about 15-20 minutes.

Outside the facilities above, the workspace is also an important thing to pay attention to for media crews. In addition to the main media room, fellow journalists can also access several places provided for work, one of which is a sky garden which is an open space on the 4th floor.

At this location there are tables and chairs in gazebo that can be used for work. With the concept of an open room, this location also presents a view of the tall building around Senayan. For those who want to prefer to work indoors, there is one place provided on the same floor and equipped with a room cooler and a bean bag for a more relaxed impression.
