Minister of Youth and Sports Zainudin Amali reported to President Joko Widodo to make Papua a sports province in Indonesia
Menpora Zainudin Amali admitted that the discourse of Papua as a sports province was based on research findings from academics from the University of Cenderawasih (Uncen) that the XX National Sports Week (PON) 2021 had increased the nationalism of the citizens of Bumi Cenderawasih.
"One of the interesting things is how we encourage Papua as a sports province, we are preparing it. Because indeed the results of research conducted by Uncen's friends are the impact of the implementation of PON on the increasing sense of Papuan nationalism," said Menpora Zainudin Amali to press in Jakarta after meeting with President Jokowi.
Papua was chosen as the host of the 2021 PON XX after eliminating Bali and Aceh in the candidacy in 2014.
President Jokowi was present to open the XX Papua PON on October 2, 2021 at the Lukas Enembe Stadium, Jayapura Regency, which was one of the venues specifically built to hold the sports party.
PON XX Papua was held in four clusters in Jayapura City, Jayapura Regency, Mimika Regency, and Merauke Regency.
The host contingent was ranked fourth in the medal standings or the highest in the history of Papua's participation in the PON, with 93 gold medals, 66 silver medals and 102 bronze medals and Papua succeeded in marrying gold in men's and women's soccer.
Efforts to encourage Papua as a sports province are in line with the government's spirit to ensure that the venues for the four clusters are maintained and used for coaching athletes.
