Indonesian Surfing Federation welcomes presidential support for multiyear training budgets

The Indonesian Surfing Federation (PSOI) expressed strong approval for President Prabowo Subianto's backing of multiyear funding for national training programs. This support, championed alongside Youth and Sports Minister Erick Thohir, offers crucial financial certainty for Indonesian athletes.

This policy shift addresses a long-standing need for consistent financial planning in sports development. Previously, athletes often faced uncertainty regarding training budgets, impacting their preparation for major events. The multiyear approach aims to stabilize funding, allowing for more strategic and long-term athlete development.

PSOI views this as a significant step toward enhancing the competitiveness of Indonesian surfers on the global stage. The guaranteed budget will enable more effective training regimens and participation in international competitions, ultimately fostering greater success for the sport in Indonesia.
