JAKARTA The world of national badminton is grieving. One of the talents that became the forerunners of Indonesia's future stars has passed away.

Az-Zahra Putri Dania was reported to have died on Monday, February 27, due to illness. He is a talented young badminton player belonging to Indonesia.

The following is the complete profile of the athlete from Bogor Regency.

Dania was born on July 27, 2004 in Bogor Regency, West Java, and began studying badminton at the Eng Hian Badminton Academy (EHBA) club.

Last year Dania entered the National Training Center (Pelatnas) of the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) in Cipayung, East Jakarta.

He got an entrance ticket to Pelatnas after winning the national selection event (Selection) with his colleague Rafli Ramanda in the cadet mixed doubles category.

A series of achievements were immediately engraved after forging her to be Pelatnas. She was recorded as reaching the final with Anisanaya Kamila on the women's doubles Adidas Alpes International U19 in France in April 2022.

In addition, Dania also stepped into the round of 16 of the 2022 Indonesia Masters badminton tournament which was held last June with the same pair.
