BEKASI DISTRICT – A total of 15 sports were competed at the Bekasi Regency Sports Week (Porkab) 11-15 October 2023. This activity was held in order to produce young professional athletes representing each sub-district in the area.

“The match venue is centered at the Wibawa Mukti Stadium complex, supported by several other points such as GOR Tambun, PGRI Building, as well as a mini stadium,” he said.
Reza stated that through this activity, KONI Bekasi Regency is trying to promote sports and exercise in the community while developing sports achievements in the sub-district. “If it’s just a single event, there are regions that don’t send athletes, they end up not taking part in the championship, but if it’s a multi-event, all sub-districts will definitely take part. This event also looks for potential, the Porkab results are KONI’s reference for athletes’ priorities in 2026 as a start to pursuing their sports career ,” he said.
