The Banten chapter of the Indonesian Dragon and Lion Dance Federation (FOBI) held its 2026 Provincial Assembly (Musprov) at Saung Engkong on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. During the assembly, Hasan Wijaya was re-elected by acclamation as Chairman of FOBI Banten for the 2026–2030 term, marking his third term leading the provincial chapter.

The assembly focused on two main agenda items: the presentation of the FOBI Banten board’s work report for the 2022–2026 term, and the election and confirmation of the Chairman and board for the 2026–2030 term. The forum provided an opportunity to evaluate the outgoing board’s work and set the organization’s direction for the next four years.
The event was attended by Heryanto Salim, Secretary General of the FOBI Central Board; Andrean Wijaya, Deputy Secretary General of the FOBI Central Board; and Hika, representing the Legal Affairs Division of the Banten chapter of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI).
Also present were representatives of FOBI’s city and regency chapters: Tju Gito, Chairman of FOBI Tangerang City; Marsel, Chairman of FOBI South Tangerang City; Sonny, Chairman of FOBI Lebak Regency; Day Han Agata, Vice Chairman of FOBI Serang City; and Juan, Treasurer of FOBI Tangerang Regency.
FOBI Chairman Edy Kusuma extended his congratulations to Hasan Wijaya on the renewed trust placed in him to lead FOBI Banten. He expressed his hope that this third term would provide fresh motivation to strengthen the organization, improve athlete development, and help Banten achieve greater success in competitive lion dance. Edy Kusuma also encouraged all board members to maintain unity and strengthen cooperation to advance the sport in Indonesia.

Hasan Wijaya’s re-election carries the responsibility of continuing to develop lion dance as a sport in Banten. The board for the 2026–2030 term is expected to strengthen coordination with city and regency chapters, enhance athlete development, and create more opportunities for athletes to improve their skills and achieve success.
Through the 2026 Provincial Assembly, FOBI Banten enters a new leadership term with the hope that continuity in its programs and cooperation among all board members will further strengthen the development of lion dance as a sport in Banten Province.
