Announce Squad, Young Satria Ready To Hunt For IBL 2025 Title

JAKARTA The Satria Muda Pertamina basketball club officially introduced their squad for the 2025 IBL (Indonesian Basketball League) competition. They come in a formation that is ready to win the title.

The head coach of Satria Muda, Youbel Sondakh, said that their squad this season could compete for the highest podium after winning the last time in the 2022 edition.

"This has not won the title for too long. So, hopefully this year we can take what everyone wants (to hold)," he said at the team launch event at FX Senayan, Jakarta, on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.

In the 2025 season, the team that has collected 12 titles did not make many changes in formations. Several names from last season are still maintained by management.

They are Widyanta Putra Teja, Juan Laurent, Sandi Ibrahim Aziz, Abraham Damar Grahita, Ali Bagir, Julian Chalias, Adrien Chalias, Antoni Erga, and Karl Patrick. In addition, there was also Avan Seputra who missed last season.

This composition is then equipped by new signing players, such as LeBryan Nash, Total Lewis, Randy Bell, and naturalized player Jarron Crump.

"This is a complete composition of players for us. We have players with mature age."

"We have a lot of experienced players, even as we know, our foreign players have all played here," Youbel said.

Satria Muda this season is certain to lose senior player Arki Wisnu who moved to Dewa United Banten. His position as captain was replaced by Abraham Damar Grahita.

The IBL 2025 match is still using a home-and-away format which has started last season. The series of matches at the highest level of the Indonesian basketball league will begin on January 11, 2025.

Satria Muda Pertamina will start their journey by traveling to Prawira Bandung headquarters at the C-Tra Prawira Arena. The match will start at 18.00 WIB.
