The 2026 National Beach Games will take place at Ancol Beach, North Jakarta, from November 21 to 27.

The inaugural event will bring together athletes from 38 provinces across Indonesia, with competitions in 10 sports and 11 disciplines, featuring a total of 67 events.

The Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI), the Jakarta KONI, and the Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency have reviewed the four venues: Beach City International Stadium (BCIS), Beach Pool, Festival Beach, and Lagoon Beach.

Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency Head Andri Yansyah called on all parties to strengthen their commitment and work together as preparations enter the final stretch.

"Let's work together and get ready to make this event a success," he said on Thursday (10/29).

Jakarta KONI Chair Hidayat Humaid said the National Beach Games were a collaborative effort involving the KONI, the Jakarta Provincial Government, the Jakarta Youth and Sports Agency, the Jakarta KONI, and PT Pembangunan Jaya Ancol.

The event was intended not only to promote sporting achievement but also to stimulate the local economy, particularly for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) around the competition venues.

"We are racing against time, so everyone must work together to ensure the event runs smoothly, delivers strong sporting results, is well managed, and boosts the local economy," he said.

The 10 sports featured at the National Beach Games are aquatics, comprising water polo and open-water swimming; 3x3 basketball; beach volleyball; beach handball; sailing; modern pentathlon; rugby; sea diving; teqball; and triathlon.

Andri Paranoan, Secretary-General of the 2026 National Beach Games Organizing Committee and Vice Chair of the Jakarta KONI's Achievement Development Division, said the 67 events would be held across four venues: Beach City International Stadium (BCIS), Beach Pool, Festival Beach, and Lagoon Beach.

BCIS will host 3x3 basketball (two events), beach handball (two), teqball (eight), and triathlon (11). Beach Pool will host aquatics (two water polo events), modern pentathlon (15), and beach rugby (four).

Festival Beach will host aquatics (four open-water swimming events) and sea diving (six), while Lagoon Beach will host beach volleyball (two events) and sailing (11).

"We are continuing to prepare the arrangements and competition requirements. Coordination with the sports federations involved is also underway," he said.
