TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo is scheduled to attend the opening ceremony of the FIBA World Cup 2023 on Friday, August 25, 2023, at Indonesia Arena, GBK Senayan, Jakarta.
The opening ceremony of the basketball event will commence at 19:15 p.m. before the second game between Canada and France at 20:30 p.m.
The organizers of FIBA World Cup 2023 hope that the ticket holders arrive at the venue earlier to anticipate the president's security protocol. The audience is expected to arrive and enter the stadium at 18:30 p.m. in anticipation of entrance blocking as part of the security protocol and to anticipate the exit flow of the first game's audience.
"I implore the second-game audience to arrive earlier to witness the lively opening ceremony together," said LOC Head of FIBA World Cup 2023 Indonesia Budisatrio Djiwandono in Jakarta.
According to Budi, the audience who arrives late will have to wait outside until the end of the opening ceremony to enter the stadium. The entry process for the second game will resume after the opening ceremony concluded or after Jokowi has left the venue.
FIBA World Cup 2023 in Jakarta will host the elimination round of two groups, namely Group G and Group H. Group G consists of Spain, Iran, Ivory Coast, and Brazil. Meanwhile, Group H consists of Canada, Latvia, Lebanon, and France.
