Sementara Sumatera Selatan, yang sebelumnya juga menyatakan kesiapan menggelar perhelatan itu, akan menjadi kota pendukung.

"Selain karena ibukota, hasil survei tim OCA menyatakan infrastruktur Jakarta sangat mendukung penyelenggaraan Asian Games 2018 di Jakarta. Selain sarana dan prasarana, aspek lainnya adalah akomodasi dan transportasi yang lengkap," kata Ketua Komite Olimpiade Indonesia (KOI) Rita Subowo dalam keterangan tertulis yang diterima di Jakarta, Minggu.

Ia menuturkan, beberapa pihak dari kalangan swasta juga telah menyatakan kesiapannya menyambut hajatan olahraga empat tahunan itu.

"Kami mendapat dukungan dari pihak swasta,seperti Djarum, Pak Ciputra dan Pak Murdaya Po. Pak Siputra memberikan tempatnya di kawasan Kuningan untuk gala pembukaan dan acara eksibisi Asian Games," katanya.

Rita yang baru saja kembali dari Kuwait dalam pertemuan dengan Presiden OCA Sheik Fahad Al-Sabah memang sengaja terbang ke negeri minyak tersebut untuk mengajukan diri dan menyatakan kesiapan Indonesia untuk menjadi tuan rumah Asian Games 2018.

Ia didampingi perwakilan dari Kementerian Pemuda dan Olahraga Faisal Abdullah, Gubernur Sumatera Utara Alex Noerdin, Ketua KONI Sumatera Selatan Mudai Madang dan Wakil Gubernur DKI Jakarta Basuki Tjahaja Purnama.

Pada 3 Agustus mendatang, delegasi OCA rencananya akan menyambangi Jakarta untuk melihat lebih jauh infrastruktur yang akan digunakan dalam Asian Games.

Mereka juga akan meninjau Palembang yang dinilai memiliki fasilitas olahraga yang lengkap sebagai kota pendukung.

"Kami melihat kolam renang dan arena ski air sangat layak untuk menggelar Asian Games. Selain itu, Jakarta sendiri harus memiliki velodrome berstandar internasional," tutur Rita.

Dikatakan Rita, peninjauan awal itu penting karena menjadi tuan rumah Asian Games, turnamen yang sekelas dengan Olimpiade, tidaklah mudah.

"Itulah kenapa Jakarta ditetapkan sebagai kota untuk main event dan Sumatera Selatan sebagai pendukung," katanya.

Asian Games 2018 akan mempertandingkan 33 cabang olahraga, dengan rincian 28 cabor olimpiade dan lima cabor tradisional yang ada di kawasan Asia.

"OCA juga memiliki hak untuk mengusulkan satu cabang olahraga ke Asian Games nantinya," ujarnya.

Indonesia resmi diputuskan menjadi tuan rumah Asian Games 2018 setelah Vietnam mundur. Jadwal yang semula dijadwalkan 2019 dimajukan menjadi 2018 karena bersamaan dengan penyelenggaraan Pemilihan Presiden di Indonesia.

"Kami mengajukan diri menjadi tuan rumah karena didukung penuh oleh Presiden, Menpora dan Menkokesra," ungkapnya.

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Jakarta is set to host the 2018 Asian Games by the Olympic Committee of Asia (Olympic Council of Asia / OCA), in a meeting in Kuwait on Friday.

While South Sumatra, who had previously also expressed readiness to hold the event, will be supporting the city.

"In addition to the capital, the survey team of the OCA stated it is highly supportive infrastructure for the Asian Games 2018 in Jakarta. Besides infrastructure, other aspects of accommodation and transportation are complete," said Chairman of the Indonesian Olympic Committee (KOI) Rita Subowo in a written statement received here on Sunday.

He said, some of the private sector has also expressed readiness to welcome the celebration of the quadrennial sports.

"We have the support of the private sector, such as Djarum, Mr. Ciputra and Mr. Murdaya Po. Mr. Siputra gives his place in the Kuningan area for the opening gala and exhibition event of the Asian Games," he said.

Rita who has just returned from Kuwait in a meeting with the President of OCA Sheikh Fahad Al-Sabah was deliberately flown into the oil country to put themselves forward and expressed the readiness of Indonesia to host the Asian Games in 2018.

He was accompanied by representatives of the Ministry of Youth and Sports Faisal Abdullah, North Sumatra Governor Alex Noerdin, Chairman Mudai Madang KONI South Sumatra and Jakarta Vice Governor Tjahaja Basuki Purnama.

On 3 August, the OCA delegation planned to be visited Jakarta to look beyond infrastructure that will be used in the Asian Games.

They will also review Palembang who are considered to have a complete sports facilities as a supporter of the city.

"We see the pool and the water ski area is very feasible to hold the Asian Games. Moreover, Jakarta itself must have an international standard velodrome," said Rita.

It is said Rita, an initial review was important due to host the Asian Games, the Olympic tournament with a class, it is not easy.

"That is why Jakarta established as the main event for the city and South Sumatra as a supporter," he said.

2018 Asian Games will feature 33 sports, with details of 28 sports of the Olympic and five traditional sports in the Asian region.

"The OCA also has the right to propose one sport to the Asian Games later," he said.

Indonesia officially decided to host the Asian Games in 2018 after Vietnam backed. Schedule which was originally scheduled for 2019 brought forward to 2018 because it coincides with the Presidential Elections in Indonesia.

"We volunteered to host because it is fully supported by the President, and Menkokesra Affairs," he said.

OCA to inspect Indonesia’s sports infrastructure
The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Headlines | Thu, July 31 2014, 9:15 AM

Headlines News
A team from the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) is slated to visit Indonesia early in August to assess sports infrastructure in Jakarta and Palembang, South Sumatra, in advance of the 2018 Asian Games.

Chairwoman of the Indonesian Olympics Committee (KOI) Rita Subowo said on Wednesday that she had yet to get information on how long the team would be in Indonesia.

“We haven’t talked about the details of their visit,” Rita said.

Rita said that a team from OCA had previously conducted an initial inspection in Jakarta and Palembang in May and concluded that both cities were qualified to host the 18th Asian Games and Indonesia had been given preference following the withdrawal of Vietnam’s capital Hanoi in April because of economic problems.

Jakarta was appointed as main host and Palembang was named co-host for the quadrennial multi-sport event after an OCA meeting in Kuwait last week that was attended by South Sumatra Governor Alex Noerdin and Jakarta Deputy Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama.

Alex had expressed that South Sumatra was without a doubt ready to host the prestigious event after having previously hosted the 2011 Southeast Asian Games and the 2013 Islamic Solidarity Games.

“We only need to renovate the existing venues. We don’t need to build new ones for the event,” Rita said.

The games are scheduled to be held in 2019, but the OCA had decided to allow the host country flexibility to hold the Games in 2018 rather than the following year. Since Indonesia will be holding presidential elections in 2019, the host country decided to move the 18th Asian Games to 2018.

The upcoming 17th edition of the Asian Games is slated to take place from Sept. 19 to Oct. 4 in Incheon, South Korea. More than 100 Indonesian athletes will compete in 23 of the 36 events being held.

Ahok said that should Jakarta officially be elected to host the 18th Asian Games, it would give a tremendous boost toward renovating many of the city’s sport facilities.

Ahok said he hoped the central government would help the city prepare all the necessary infrastructure, as well as the sports and other supporting facilities, including the renovation of the Gelora Bung Karno sports stadium in Senayan, Central Jakarta, which was built to host the opening ceremony of the fourth Asian Games in 1962.

“We will also immediately build the BMW Park stadium in North Jakarta, so it can accommodate around 80,000 spectators,” he said.

He added that the city would also accelerate the construction of the mass rapid transit (MRT) system, the light rail transit (LRT) system and more roads in order to enable the city to host the prestigious event.

“We hope that the construction of the mass rapid transit and the light rapid transit loop lines for the electric trains, six toll roads and the improvement of the city’s bus system will all be realized by 2016 or 2017,” he said.

If the leader of ASEAN needs any help with some infrastructure just like Brazil, you know where to find us
China can contribute to make this Asian Game a nice experience.

 

[aliaselin]

Good. Finally we need not cancel it

I hear a local news from China that Nanjing is willing to host it? waste of money.
