Kapanlagi.com - In recent years, the sports trend in Indonesia has seen a significant increase, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic. This was highlighted by Ilham Aditama, the vocalist of the band HIVI!, who noted that public awareness of the importance of maintaining health is increasingly rising.
According to him, this is something to be appreciated, especially with government support in providing adequate facilities to support sports activities.
“Now we can see that friends are starting to be aware of health and the government is also starting to pay attention to infrastructure. The infrastructure developed by the government is, in my opinion, very cool,” said Ilham Aditama while attending the Indonesia Sport Industry Summit 2024 at the Dome, Senayan Park, Jakarta, Friday (18/10/2024).
At the event, the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora) introduced the Indonesian Sport Promoter (INASPRO) as a new step to advance the sports industry in Indonesia. Ilham welcomed this initiative and expressed optimism that the presence of INASPRO will have a positive impact on the sports industry in the homeland.
"I hope that with the presence of INASPRO, the sports industry in Indonesia can advance further and the athletes will also be paid more attention," he said.
