OMIA 2025 Got the Olympic Value, Introducing New Sports to the Community – Indonesia’s Latest Viral

Viralterkini.id, Jakarta-The Indonesian Olympic Committee (NOC Indonesia) again held an Olympic Movement in Action (OMIA) 2025, an annual event that became a reference for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to promote Olympic values, encourage active and healthy lifestyles, and expand sports participation in all levels of society.

This year, Omia took place at the Madya Senayan Stadium and West Plaza Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), Jakarta.

This event presents the exhibition of five sports branches, namely archery, athletics, 3 × 3 basketball, skateboard, and Padel – new sports branches that are popular among Indonesian people.

The organization of OMIA 2025 is the result of collaboration between NOC Indonesia and the National Federation of each sport, as well as receiving full support from the Bung Karno Gelora Management Center (PPK GBK) which provides venue and infrastructure facilities.

Chairman of NOC Indonesia, Raja Sapta Oktohari, represented by the Indonesian NOC Executive Committee, Harry Citregara, explained that Omia became one of the strategic programs of NOC Indonesia to echo the spirit of the Olympics in the country.

“Omia is not only about sports, but also inspires and invites people to feel the Olympic energy firsthand. The goal is simple: making sports as part of lifestyle, building character, and strengthening unity. Through our role as an official liaison with IOC, NOC Indonesia ensures that this activity carries the actual standards and enthusiasm of the Olympics,” Harry said, Friday (8/15/2025).

The role of NOC Indonesia in Omia includes coordination with IOC, presenting Olympic sports and new branches that are potentially developing in Indonesia, as well as bringing athletes closer to the community through coaching clinic, friendly matches, and interactive sessions.

In addition to watching matches and exhibitions, visitors can also try directly to the favorite sports, interact with national athletes, to participate in educational sessions about sports.

In West Plaza Senayan, there is a sports entertainment that invites people to move actively while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere.

According to Harry, this concept is designed to present a direct experience that imprints on the hearts of visitors.

“We want the community not only to be spectators, but also feel for themselves how to be part of the spirit of the Olympics. That way, the values of sportsmanship, hard work, and togetherness can be embedded more strongly,” he said.

OMIA 2025 is also in line with the IOC initiative that encourages all the National Olympic Committee in the world to hold inclusive activities that revive excellence values, friendship (friendship), and respect (mutual respect).

“Through Omia, Indonesia shows a commitment as an active part of the World Olympiad movement, as well as preparing a golden generation to Indonesia gold Indonesia 2045,” said Harry.

In addition, this event is expected to be a means to introduce Olympic sports branches to the younger generation, open up opportunities for fostering potential athletes, and inspire people to make sports as part of everyday life.

The success of the OMIA 2025 implementation cannot be separated from the support of a number of parties. The Indonesian Olympic Committee expressed his appreciation to Mills, Tiktok, Aice, Baic, and Kings Travel which had become partners in organizing this activity.

“Sponsor support is not only limited to funding, but also helps us expand the reach of messages and revive the atmosphere of the event. Their presence is very meaningful for the sustainability of this movement in the coming years,” Harry said.

PPK GBK as a provider of facilities also plays an important role in ensuring the entire series of activities can run smoothly, ranging from venue readiness to the provision of infrastructure that supports the implementation of various sports.

Through Omia, NOC Indonesia hopes that public awareness of the importance of physical activity can increase.

According to WHO data, active lifestyle can reduce the risk of non -communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.

“We bring this Olympic movement not only for sports achievements, but also as a public health movement. If the community is actively moving, we will have a healthier, productive, and tough nation,” Harry said.

Omia 2025 in Jakarta is expected to be a positive momentum to inspire the community, especially the younger generation, to continue to move, exercise, and apply Olympic values in daily life.

With the support of various parties, this event is believed to continue to grow and make a real contribution to the progress of Indonesian sports.
