FIBA Asia Cup 2022 Coaches and Players Friday Prayer at Hotel Fairmont

A number of players and officials from Saudi Arabia were seen attending Friday prayers.

JAKARTA -- The implementation of the FIBA Asia Cup 2022 does not prevent players, coaches, committees, and volunteers who are Muslim from carrying out Friday prayers. The FIBA Asia Cup 2022 organizing committee is trying its best to accommodate these needs.


The committee in collaboration with the Fairmont Hotel directs players and coaches to perform Friday prayers at P6 of the hotel. The Fairmont Hotel is the place to stay for the entire 2022 FIBA Asia Cup contestant team. Several organizing committees on duty at the Fairmont Hotel, including medical team personnel, also attend Friday prayers there.


A number of players and officials from Saudi Arabia were seen attending Friday prayers. So did the officials and several players of the Indonesian men's basketball team.

"Yes, the Friday prayer facilities at this hotel help," said Saudi Arabia coach Mohamed Mounir Youssef Elkerdany, Friday (15/7/2022).

While in Istora, Friday prayers were held in the mushala area which is located next to the management office. This Friday prayer activity was attended by volunteers, the executive committee, and a number of Istora workers.

The Friday prayer at Istora was well received by male Muslim volunteers.

"The event continues, we can keep praying. We don't need to be far ahead. It's still close and there is enough time," said Maulana Bintang, one of the volunteers for the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup.

The schedule for the 2022 FIBA Asia Cup matches has been determined in advance and takes into account the time in other countries in Asia. That's why there is one match that was held close to Friday prayer time. However, the executive committee worked around this by holding independent Friday prayers.

Chairman of the FIBA Asia Cup Organizing Committee Junas Miradiarsyah said Friday Prayers, especially those held in Istora, were an effort from the committee to make Muslim volunteers more calm in carrying out their duties. Because, they can continue to work but do not miss the obligatory worship.
