Abdullah Jihad Al Akbar, who appeared in the men’s outdoor hockey category, won a bronze medal for Indonesia at the 2023 SEA Games in Cambodia.
“We should be able to focus even more when facing important games. Yesterday we had a draw with Singapore, if we win, we should be able to play in the final. Because yesterday was a draw, we had to settle for playing in third place,” said Abdullah Jihad Al Akbar to reporters when met at terminal three of Soekarno-Hatta airport, Tangerang, Thursday evening.
The hockey team’s achievements at the SEA Games in Cambodia were quite promising by scoring one gold and three bronze because hockey was not contested in the two previous SEA Games.
