JAKARTA - The XX Papua National Sports Week (PON) badminton match today, Friday, will be an important match in the fight for a place to the final for the men's and women's team numbers which will take place tomorrow Saturday.

Citing Antara, in the women's team number, DKI Jakarta as the first seed will open the semifinal match today at 14.00 p.m. local time against the third seed Papua.

In the preliminary phase match, DKI Jakarta, which was strengthened by three national training players, had to lose two points against Bengkulu and Banten. Meanwhile, the host Papua only lost one game against Central Java.

At the same time, Bali as the fourth seed will meet the second seed of East Java. Bali has Komang Ayu Cahya Dewi who is a national training athlete, while East Java is strengthened by Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma and Marsheilla Gischa Islami.

In the men's team event, Central Java has been waiting for the top seed in West Java.

DKI Jakarta men's doubles Yeremia Erich Yoche/Amri Syahnawi are confident that they can contribute points and beat East Java to advance to the PON team final.

"If I look at the men's doubles in East Java, there is Reza (Pahlevi Isfahani) from the national training, while his partner Reza (Calvin Khristanto) is not from the national training. Because we practice in national training, I am more confident,” said Yeremia yesterday.
