JAKARTA - Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi's women's doubles is ready and hopes to be trusted to appear in the 2025 Sudirman Cup.

The world's eighth-ranked pair are one of two women's doubles departing for China. This is the first time they have entered the mixed team squad.

"Our preparations are going well, there are additional training patterns from coach Karel Mainaky as well. God willing, we are ready if we are trusted to go down," said Febriana.

Indonesia has sent a total of 19 players to the 2025 Sudirman Cup. That number decreased by one after Leo Rolly Carnando was confirmed to be absent because he was still injured.

This number consists of 11 male players and eight female players. In the women's doubles sector, apart from Febriana/Amallia, there is also the couple Lanny Tria Mayasari/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti.

"It's nice to finally be selected. Hopefully we can give our best, contribute points to bring Indonesia forward," said Amalia.

The 2025 Sudirman Cup will take place from 27 April to 4 May 2025 at Xiamen Olympic Sports Center Fenghuang Gymnasium, Xiamen, China.

Febriana/Amallia and friends will leave for China on Thursday, April 24, 2025, afternoon. They flew directly using Xiamen Airlines flight number MF868.

The Head of Binpres Pelatnas PBSI, Eng Hian, said that Garuda Troops deliberately flew directly to the host city because it would save time and players.

"With a flight duration of five hours during the day, so it's not too late, you can have dinner and then take a break to prepare for training tomorrow," he said.

Indonesia will start the journey from Group D with Denmark, India and England. The two best teams from the group will get tickets to the quarter-finals.

This year, Indonesia is targeted to reach the final round. In the history of the most prestigious mixed team tournament, Indonesia has only won once, namely in the first edition of 1989.
