JAKARTA - The Indonesian Volleyball Association (PBVSI) has called 12 players for the Indonesian U-18 women's volleyball national team to participate in the national training center (Pelatnas) in preparation for the Princess Cup and AVC Girls Championship.
Both international events will take place at the end of June and early July in Nakhorn Ratchasima, Thailand. Head coach Angga Hasan Mubarok will lead the Pelatnas.
Two of the names called by the national volleyball parent have already undergone training for the senior national team program. The two are Khanza Putri Yansi Ganshtri and Tina Syifa Sabila Salim.
Assistant Coach Bobby Ade Setiawan said that both players would focus on training with the U-18 squad even though they were in the Pelatnas for the senior team.
"Both of them are currently in the National Team for the senior national team, but during the U-18 National Team they will train with the U-18 and not the senior," Bobby said in an official statement received.
This call immediately arranges the composition of players according to the needs of each position. Shakira Ayu Tirta Wijaya and Clarissa Thomas are trusted to fill the role of setter, while Nathania Putri Prasetra is the only player to occupy the libero position.
In the middle blocker sector, Indonesia relies on Rowina Ulfiyah Tacita Azmi, Ibovna Anindya Thalita Sahuri, and Yzuri Aida Najera Katalina. The three of them will strengthen the defense and attack lines in front of the net.
Meanwhile, the opposite position will be occupied by Khanza Putri Yansi Ganeshtri with Arimbi Syifana Andayani. The four names that fill the outside hitter position are Venis Dri Oktaviani, Tina Syifa Sabila Salim, Zebe Hawlyy Almadina Pramesti, and Vania Nurfatima Hafani.
Indonesia is in Group C with Japan, Iran, and the Philippines at the AVC U-18 Girls Championship. The competition will take place on July 1-8, 2026.
