JAKARTA - The Jakarta Pertamina Enduro (JPE) women's volleyball squad is focused on securing the one point they need in the last week of the Final Four to reach the 2026 Proliga finals.
JPE is scheduled to play the first of the remaining two matches in the Semarang round against Jakarta Popsivo Polwan at GOR Jatidiri on Friday, April 17, 2026. They need to win to lock in the final ticket.
Chef de Mission Jakarta Pertamina Enduro, Werry Prayogi, emphasized that his team's position was not completely safe so that victory was a death penalty to avoid other potential scenarios.
"For this reason, preparations are focused on improving the consistency of the game and readiness to face pressure in the decisive match," said Werry in a statement received.
Currently, JPE is in second place in the Final Four standings. The squad led by Bulent Karslioglu is below Gresik Phonska Pupuk Indonesia.
Thus, Semarang is a crucial phase for JPE because the position can still be overtaken by other teams if they do not get a win. The two teams that are eyeing them are Jakarta Electric PLN Mobile and Popsivo.
Bulent Karslioglu said the team is currently in the final maturation phase before the decisive match, especially the stability of performance in receiving serves, effectiveness of offense, and defense.
"In addition, decision-making at crucial points will be very decisive. The team must play disciplined and focused from the start of the match," said the Turkish tactician.
Besides meeting Popsivo, JPE will also face Gresik Phonska who so far has performed very well, securing three wins and one loss from the four matches they have played.
Bulent added that mental readiness was an important factor in facing two matches that were so decisive for their fate in the highest level league of Indonesian volleyball.
"The final series of the Final Four is a stage where every detail affects the final result. We must be ready technically and mentally, because our target is clear, namely to qualify for the Grand Final," he said.
