Alongside 33 official sports events in Aceh and 34 in North Sumatra, there will be 8 exhibition sports, including Ice Skating, Padel, Teqball, Floorball, Pickleball, Mixed Martial Arts, Beach Handball, and Horseback Archery. Despite being exhibitions, Chairman of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) Central Board, Lieutenant General (Ret.) TNI Purn Marciano Norman, stresses the importance of successful event organization and the emergence of accomplished athletes from all contingents. Therefore, thorough preparations by the sports branches' parent organizations are crucial, especially since the exhibitions are independently organized by each branch. 'All preparations must be carried out optimally, involving officials with specific qualifications and athletes prepared to the maximum by each Provincial Sports Committee. Athlete performance, sportsmanship, and strict adherence to regulations are crucial for the quality of the competition. It is also hoped that the sports events will attract the public, providing added value to Sports Tourism,' said the Chairman of KONI Central Board. Emphasizing the importance of coordination with the parent organizations of exhibition sports, Chairman of KONI Central Board leads a meeting with the exhibition sports branches for PON XXI/2024 Aceh-North Sumatra at the Lukman Niode Room, KONI Central Office, Senayan Jakarta. The meeting is continued by the Secretary-General of KONI Central Board, Drs. Tb. Lukman Djajadikusuma, MEMOS. He emphasizes that all sports branches participating in the exhibition must coordinate with the Supervisory and Directorial Committee (Panwasrah) according to their respective regions or exhibition locations. 'The exhibition for PON XXI this time must be optimal, hence coordination with Panwasrah according to the regions where the competitions are held is crucial given the increasingly limited time,' stated the Secretary-General of KONI Central Board. All sports branches participating in the exhibition must prepare their needs as best as possible, including preparations for venues or locations, exact schedules to avoid conflicts with other sports branches' schedules, the number of participating provinces, the number of match categories, and so on.</span></p>
