JAKARTA The Polytron Superliga Junior 2025 badminton tournament provided a prize of IDR 1.4 billion. This event was attended by 654 young badminton players from eight countries.

They will fight on September 15-21, 2025 at GOR Djarum Jati, Kudus, Central Java. This tournament match will adopt the Thomas and Uber Cup format.

The eight countries participating in the tournament initiated by the Djarum Foundation and Polytron Sports Service are Indonesia, Poland, the United States, Malaysia, Singapore, China Taipei, Thailand, and the Philippines.

Polytron Tekno Commercial Director, Wibowo, hopes that Polytron Superliga Junior 2025 can measure and improve the athletes' abilities above the arena so that in the future they can make proud achievements for Indonesia.

"We hope that young Indonesian athletes can exchange valuable experiences and innovate more broadly both in terms of technique and capability," said Wibowo.

Superliga Junior Polytron in previous years took place at GOR Djarum Magelang. However, this year's edition moved to GOR Djarum Jati, Kudus, Central Java, due to historical considerations.

The Djarum Foundation Sports Service Director's Program, Yoppy Rosimin, said that Kudus is a city that has produced many Indonesian badminton heroes.

"We hope that athletes who come from outside Kudus can also taste the diversity of rooted traditions in this city, hopefully they will bring memorable memories when they return to their respective cities," said Yoppy.
