JAKARTA The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) wants to keep Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo at the Cipayung National Training Center amid the issue of wanting to withdraw from the athlete.
Head of the PBSI Development and Achievement Division, Eng Hian, said that at this time the federation was still trying to communicate with the athlete regarding what steps could be taken.
"We are still in the process of communicating with Chico to make a new championship road map so that he can achieve again with maximum," said Eng Hian.
The conversation about the planned badminton player from Jayapura wants to leave the PBSI National Training Center has been circulating on social media for the past few days.
The 26-year-old badminton player is still on the calendar this year. Of the three BWF World Tour tournaments that were followed, he had his furthest journey only in the second half.

Deputy Chairperson I of PBSI, Taufik Hidayat, previously said that the federation would indeed promote and degrade after the 2025 Sudirman Cup, but so far no list of athletes have been hit.
"It will be informed later. If it is emphasized when, when, when, God knows. It cannot be suppressed as well. It's a pity that the athlete has just returned from the Sudirman Cup," he said.
Chico managed to enter Pelatnas because of his good achievements at the junior level. One of them was a silver medal at the Junior World Championships in 2016.
However, he appeared inconsistent when he stepped on senior levels. This is what keeps him in the shadow of Jonatan Christie and Anthony Sinisuka Ginting.
In addition, Chico also did not enter the Indonesian squad in the 2025 Sudirman Cup which was only completed last week. PBSI even prefers young players Alwi Farhan and Mohammad Zaki Ubaidillah.
