During his farewell to KONI Badung on Wednesday (8/3), Kabaddi General Manager Pengkab Kadek Sudharma Hariawan said that 12 countries will participate in the championship in Bangladesh, namely Thailand, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Iraq, Nepal, England, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Chinese Taipei, Argentina and Poland.

Apart from Bangladesh, according to Sudharma, PB Kabaddi has also sent eight of his athletes to strengthen the Indonesian national team to participate in the New Delhi Championships, which will involve 22 countries from Asia. According to the man who is also a Badung Regency government bureaucrat, with central trust in these Badung players, they will be able to explore new techniques in Kabaddi sports.

Apart from this, new numbers are disputed, which have never been played in Bali. He explained that this event will also be used by the experiment to improve the experiment and prepare for the pre PON and PON 2024.

“It’s also good to use in preparation for ‘KONI Badung Sport Tourism 2023’,” said Sudharma Hariawan, who is also a former PR officer of PBVSI Bali.

Meanwhile, the General President of Badung KONI, Made Nariana, accompanied by his secretary, Made Sutama, felt proud as more and more Badung athletes were entrusted with the participation in the Indonesian national team. Last month, the athlete from Kabaddi Badung also participated in the Malaysian Cup and became the overall champion. Nariana, who is also the former Ketum Pengprov Muaythai Bali, hopes other sports will also improve the quality of their athletes.

Thus, PB Kabaddi will always be considered to represent Indonesia if there is a championship abroad. According to him, overseas experience is very important as Badung is world famous as an international tourist attraction.*dek
