Pelatnas Players Enliven The 2024 PBSI National Championship
JAKARTA The players who live in the Cipayung National Training Center (Pelatnas) have permission to participate in the 2024 PBSI National Championship (Kejurnas).
This year's National Championship will be held on December 3-8, 2024 at the Jakarta State University (UNJ) GOR and Pulogadung Sports Center, Rawamangun, East Jakarta.
"With the presence of players from the PBSI Cipayung National Training Center, the 2024 National Championship is certainly more attractive, fierce, and exciting," said Secretary General of the Central Board of the Indonesian Badminton Association (PP PBSI), Ricky Soebagdja.
Previously in the 2022 National Championships, players from the PBSI National Training Center were prohibited from taking part. However, now they will appear to defend their respective clubs.
The 2024 PBSI National Championships will compete in the women's U-19 cadets' individual categories and mixed teams between clubs in Sudirman Cup format.
