"Regular sports activities for students are important. I hope this match will be the starting point for reviving the basketball championship in Jakarta," said Pramono.
As a form of special support for this event, Pramono explained, his side is offering special prizes to the first, second, and third-place teams. Each team member will receive two tickets to a concert by BTS, Guns N'Roses, or Westlife, which will be performing in Jakarta soon.
In order to welcome the 500th anniversary or five centuries of the city of Jakarta next year, Pramono added, the Jakarta Provincial Government will encourage the holding of larger events.
"The Jakarta Provincial Government will provide full support so that student basketball in Jakarta can progress further," he added.
The Chairman of the Indonesian Basketball Association (Perbasi), Budisatrio Djiwandono, welcomed Governor Pramono Anung's intention to encourage the holding of regular and large-scale inter-student basketball events in Jakarta.
According to him, regular event will have a significant impact on developing high-achieving basketball athletes. Many graduates of Jakarta schools have contributed to Indonesia's basketball success by joining the national team.
"Of course, I pray that there will be more governors in Indonesia like Mr. Pram in other regions. Other governors support basketball," he hoped.
