TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Jakarta will host the 2018 Asian Games and has started preparing infrastructure to support the sport event.
Jakarta Youth and Sport Agency chief Ratiyono said his agency is ready to prepare sport facilities for the event. “We will fix needed sport faclities in Jakarta,” he told Tempo on Thursday.
Finishing the construction of BMW Stadium in Papanggo, North Jakarta, is the top priority as the Jakarta government wants the opening ceremony of the 2018 Asian Games be held in the new stadium. “Mr. Deputy Governor wants the opening ceremony in that stadium, so we will try to accelerate the construction,” he said.
Other sport facilities that were used for SEA Games such as Ciracas, Cibubur and Senayan Stadiums will also be improved. “They can be used for kempo, pencak silat and swimming,” he said.
However, Ratiyono said the talks for Asian Games preparation are still in the beginning phase. “It will be coordinated by the Indonesian Olympics Committee,” he said. This event must also gain approval from the President. “It will likely wait for the new president,” he said.
Even so, several teams from the Asian Sports Committee have to come to Jakarta for a visit. “Jakarta is adequate for Asian Games,” he said.
Jakarta Deputy Governor Basuki Tjahaja Purnama previously said Jakarta is ready to become host, but it will need assistance from the central government because some facilities in Jakarta are owned by the central government.
