Inp.polri.go.id - Jakarta. Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Taufik Hidayat confirmed that the 2025 National Training Center (Pelatnas) program will not be disbanded but scaled down based on priority sports.

"There is no disbandment of Pelatnas, only reductions according to various priorities," he said during his visit to the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) National Training Center in Cipayung, East Jakarta, on Wednesday (19/2/2025).

The adjustments come as the Ministry of Youth and Sports (Kemenpora) faces budget cuts of Rp 1.29 trillion, reducing the 2025 budget from Rp 2.33 trillion to Rp 1.034 trillion following government efficiency measures under President Prabowo Subianto.

Deputy Minister Taufik emphasized that only sports with medal prospects for the 2026 Asian Games and 2028 Olympics will receive top priority. 

He urged sports federations to seek alternative funding sources, adding, "Honestly, relying solely on the government is unrealistic."
