Jakarta Garuda Jaya Can Be A Solution To Supply Players For Proliga

JAKARTA The Jakarta youth team Garuda Jaya is expected to be a solution for the limited supply of players for Indonesia's highest level volleyball league competition, Proliga.

This is a newcomer team in Proliga 2024. This team will be included in the competition in preparation for the U-20 Asian Championship which will be held in Surabaya on 23-30 July 2024.

"With these junior players, it is hoped that in the future there will be more supply of players for the Proliga," said Garuda Jaya Jakarta Team Manager, Loudry Maspaitella.

Proliga 2024 starts rolling from April 25 to July 20 and 21, 2024. In total there are 14 teams, seven women's teams and seven men's teams each enliven the event.

The managers of the contestants admitted that they had quite difficulty chasing players to welcome the competition because the stock of players was running low.

"So, our task at PBVSI is to prepare the next tier again," said Loudry, who also serves as Deputy Chair of the Achievement Development Division at the Indonesian Volleyball Association (PBVSI).

Jakarta Garuda Jaya will start their journey in Proliga 2024 against Jakarta LavAni Allobank, former defending champion team owned by former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.

The match between the two teams will be the opening match of the Proliga this season. The two clashed at GOR Amonggrogo, Yogyakarta, Thursday, April 25, 2024.

PLN Mobile Proliga 2024 will be held in nine cities. The cities are Yogyakarta, Semarang, Palembang, Gresik, Bandung, Malang, Pontianak, Kediri, and Solo.

Yogyakarta, Semarang, and Palembang will host regular rounds I (April 25-12 May 2024), then Gresik for regulars I and II (May 16-19 2024), then Bandung, Malang, and Pontianak for regulars II (6-23 June 2024).

Meanwhile, Kediri and Solo are for Final Four (4-14 July 2024). The competition then closed the Grand Final match which took place in Yogyakarta on 20 and 21 July 2024.
