Chairman of the Indonesian Masters 2025 Implementation Committee, Armand Darmadji, said that they would prepare a special farewell event to honor the legendary couple.
"Of course we want to give our best because they always give their best for Indonesia," said Armand in a press statement at Istora Senayan, Jakarta.

Armand was reluctant to confirm in detail the farewell material in the tribute series. However, he made sure there would be interesting exhibition matches to watch.
"We invite all (badminton lovers) to be able to attend the exhibition match."
"Hopefully the event will run smoothly and badminton lovers can attend to Istora," he said.
