SERANG – The 2026 Banten Provincial Community Sports Festival (Forprov) will officially be held in Tangerang City. This community sports event, held every two years, is scheduled to take place at the end of the year, specifically between November or December 2026.

The Chairperson of the Indonesian Community Sports Committee (KORMI) for Banten, Nuraeni, stated that Forprov is one of KORMI Banten’s priority agendas this year. Currently, the committee is in the preparation refinement stage to ensure the event runs smoothly.

Not Just About Being Overall Champion

Nuraeni emphasized that the selection of Tangerang City as the host was not based on their achievement as overall champions at Forprov 2024 in Pantai Anyer, Serang Regency. This decision was made more due to the region’s readiness, which is considered highly capable in supporting the event’s organization.

“It’s not because they were the overall champions at Forprov in Serang Regency in 2024, but rather due to the readiness of KORMI and the local government,” said Nuraeni while giving a statement in Serang City.

According to her, the Tangerang City Government has expressed its readiness to be a good host. This readiness includes the availability of competition venues, support from community enthusiasm, and adequate supporting infrastructure.

Nuraeni added that Tangerang City has excellent sports facilities that greatly support the various community sports branches that will be contested. “The venues in Tangerang City are very numerous,” she added.

Target for Broad Participation

For information, this event is predicted to be lively with participation from around 55 Main Sports Organizations (Inorga) that will take part in the upcoming 2026 Banten Forprov event.

Pantai Anyer

Pantai Anyer is a popular beach destination located on the western coast of Java, Indonesia, in the Banten province. Historically, it gained prominence during the Dutch colonial era as a port and resort area, and it is also known for its proximity to the Krakatoa volcano, which famously erupted in 1883. Today, the beach is a favorite spot for both local and international tourists, offering golden sands, water sports, and views of the Sunda Strait.

Serang Regency

Serang Regency is a region in Banten Province, Indonesia, with a history deeply tied to the former Sultanate of Banten, which was a major trading port and Islamic kingdom from the 16th to 19th centuries. The regency’s capital, Serang city, served as the administrative center of the sultanate and retains cultural landmarks like the Great Mosque of Banten. Today, Serang Regency is known for its blend of historical heritage, agriculture, and developing urban areas near the capital Jakarta.

Tangerang City

Tangerang City, located just west of Jakarta in Indonesia, has a history rooted in its development as a Dutch colonial settlement and a hub for Chinese-Indonesian communities, particularly known for its centuries-old “Benteng” heritage. Today, it has evolved into a major industrial and commercial center, famous for its culinary scene, including lumpia (spring rolls), and modern urban developments. The city’s cultural identity is deeply shaped by its multi-ethnic population and historical landmarks like the old Chinatown and the Tangerang Old Market.

Banten

Banten is a historic port city and province on the western tip of Java, Indonesia, known for its role as a major center of the Banten Sultanate in the 16th and 17th centuries. The sultanate was a powerful Islamic trading kingdom that controlled key spice routes, leaving behind landmarks like the Great Mosque of Banten and the ruins of the royal palace. Today, the area is a cultural heritage site, reflecting a blend of Islamic, Javanese, and Chinese influences.
