JAKARTA – The organizers of the 2022 Proliga have rescheduled the two postponed matches for the eighth round of the second round. Again, it means Kudus Sukun Badak against Jakarta BNI 46 and Jakarta Pertamina Pertamax respectively.

Kudus Sukun Badak is scheduled to face Jakarta BNI 46 on Friday, March 4, continuing two days later against Jakarta Pertamax. All matches took place at the Police General Kunarto Volleyball Padepokan, Sentul, Bogor, West Java.

"We deliberately finished this postponed party in the fourth series of the second round, before the final four which will start next weekend. However, with a record that there are no more teams whose players are more than 50 percent positive for COVID-19," said Deputy Director of the Proliga Reginald Nelwan, quoted by Antara.

Breadfruit Badak against Jakarta BNI 46 was supposed to take place on February 26 last. Meanwhile, the schedule against Jakarta Pertamina has changed twice.

The first Sukun Badak is scheduled to fight Pertamina on February 13th. However, the match had to be moved to February 28 because more than 50 percent of Jakarta Pertamina Pertamax players were positive for COVID-19.

The second round of the 2022 Pro League is entering its final round. In addition to the two postponed matches, a total of six matches will also be presented on March 4 to 6.

In this last week, what will be in the spotlight is the women's team match between Jakarta Mandiri Popsivo Polwan vs Jakarta Electric PLN. Both teams will win one ticket remaining to the final four.

So far, three teams from the men's sector and one women's team have locked up the final four tickets in the most prestigious professional volleyball competition in the country.
