JAKARTA - The 2026 Pro Futsal League (PFL) Grand Final is not only a space for young Indonesian talents to show their best abilities on the field. Behind the excitement of the match, there is also a story about grassroots economics that also moves through 20 PNM Mekaar customers who are selected to sell directly in the event area.

As the main sponsor of PFL 2026, PNM's presence is not only interpreted as support for the sport, but also as an effort to open a wider space for ultra micro entrepreneurs to meet the market, expand experience, and feel the pulse of the economy from a national event.

This kind of space is important because for many ultra-micro entrepreneurs, the opportunity to expand the market is often a way out of the economic pressures that have made them vulnerable to seeking quick loans from usurers.

For the pre-prosperous community, usurers often come at a time when life needs are urgent. The process seems easy at first, but often carries a heavy burden through high interest rates, daily bills, and psychological pressure that makes small families increasingly difficult to get out of the debt cycle.

In such conditions, ultra-micro businesses that should be a source of hope can actually be hampered because the sales results are spent to pay installments that never feel finished.

Therefore, access to safe, targeted, and accompanied financing is important so that people not only get capital, but also have a way to reorganize their economic lives.

One of the customers who participated in selling at the 2026 PFL Grand Final, Iin Sutiyani, brought a story that was not simple.

"In the past, every day felt like time was running out. Not only thinking about the trade that had to be sold, but also the daily loan bills that kept coming. With the condition of my husband who was sick and a small business as the family's mainstay, the pressure made my steps feel heavy. After joining PNM Mekaar, I slowly got access to safer capital and managed the business more calmly. Now, being able to sell at the Grand Final of PFL 2026 is a pride in itself, because I feel that small businesses like us also have the opportunity to grow and be appreciated," said Iin Sutiyani.

In response to this, the President Director of PNM, Kindaris, conveyed that empowerment does not stop at providing capital, but also at the courage to open access and opportunities for those who have been struggling from small spaces.

"For ultra-micro women, capital is not just money. Capital is the opportunity to breathe more freely, stand stronger, and continue the struggle with new hope. When they are given space to grow, what moves is not only their business, but also their families and the surrounding economy," said Kindaris.

Through the presence of 20 customers at the Grand Final of PFL 2026, PNM hopes that more small business stories will be able to come out of pressure, get away from the trap of usurers, and continue to grow together with the Indonesian grassroots economy.
