JAKARTA Indonesian, Thai, and United States representatives managed to lock up tickets to the 2025 Superliga Junior semifinals after going through a fierce match on the last day of the group stage.

The last day of the team group stage took place at GOR Djarum, Jati, Kudus, Central Java, on Friday, September 19, 2025.

In the men's U-13 sector, a fierce battle was presented when PB Champion Klaten fought PB Talenta Manado to fight for the runner-up position in Group B. PB Talenta Manado opened up the 1-0 advantage contributed by Keith Ezequiel Lincoln Sumarauw after winning two straight games 21-18 and 21-14 over Kafie El Azzam Abbasy.

In the second and third matches, PB Champion was able to rise and turn things around to lead 2-1 thanks to the victory of Muhammad Rafa Shirdi and Kafie El Azzam Abbasy/Lionel Aufar Adinata.

The drama is not over because PB Talenta put up a fierce fight and finally won in the fourth match through Geralldy Mananggel who won over Farnas Rozan Iraqee.

Tickets for the semifinals finally belonged to PB Talenta Manado after doubles player Bil Rikan Miracle Turangan/Jisrel Elfiano Lumoindong fought hard to beat the Rafa/Fidel Sandiago pair through a three-game 12-21, 24-22, and 21-16 battle to close the match with a score of 3-2.

"I was tense in the first game because I had to play as the team's winner to the semifinals."

"However, the confidence of Jisrel and I began to return in the second game and succeeded in forcing the opponent to play the rubber game," said Bil Rilan.

A long battle that took more than four hours occurred in the women's U-15 category between PB Djarum and PB Taqi Arena. The contest for the first place in Group A took place so tiring.

PB Djarum first won the first point that Kalia Rahmadani gave when he beat Antlia Vannisa with a score of 21-16 and 21-7.

The tough match began to appear in the second single when Khanaya Nurzaharani from PB Taqi worked hard to beat Tiyas Anggraeni through three games 21-18, 15-21, and 13-21.

PB Djarum then won 2-1 again in the third game through Almaira Dzakira Wulanda Lestari who won two straight games over Liyana Zahirah 21-10 and 21-15.

PB Taqi again equalized 2-2 in the fourth party through Bernessa Nadea Dharmawan/Hanifa Azzahrawani Nuradi. The pair won in a long match of one hour 22 minutes against doubles Hillary Lilyana Supit/Syaikha Gendis Putri Setiawan.

PB Djarum finally managed to ensure that it qualified for the semifinals as the leader of Group A after the Almaira Dzakira Wulanda Lestari/Kalia Rahmadani doubles ended Najwa Fitriana Ramadhani/Rizki Candra Putri Ramadhani's great resistance with the final results 20-22, 21-13, and 21-12.

In the last four of the 2025 Superliga Junior, PB Djarum has been waiting for strong opponents from Group B, Jaya Raya Satria.

"Hopefully we can fight again as hard as we can to give the best performance in the semifinals in order to win and advance to the final," said Kalia.

Turning to the women's U-17 sector, PB Jaya Raya played a match to win Group B against PB Taqi Arena. In the first match of the singles player PB Jaya Raya, Miftaqul Putri Ayudis contributed the first point for his team after defeating Ayu Pratiwi in two straight games with a score of 22-20 and 21-15.

PB Jaya Raya's second single increased the chance of victory to 2-0 after Alvira Adelia Putri also achieved positive results when dealing with Fenyta Izdni Anggreini through three games 21-16, 13-21, and 21-16.

PB Jaya Raya memastikan lolos ke semifinal sebagai juara kelompok lebih cepat usai di partai ketiga Anggi Setia mendamkan perlawan Alisha Nuha Dian Haifa 20-22, 21-17, dan 21-10.

The 3-0 advantage made the fourth and fifth matches no longer decisive even though PB Jaya Raya still managed to wipe out five matches with wins. In the semifinals, Anggi and his friends will certainly be challenged by a club from Thailand, Granular.

Meanwhile, civil war will certainly occur in the women's U-19 semifinals between PB Djarum A and PB Djarum B. These results cannot be separated from PB Djarum A's victory in the match for Group B winners against the Global Badminton Academy.

In the U-19 sector competition in Group A, Banthongyord, who qualified for the semifinals as group winners, managed to collect four points from four consecutive wins.

The White Elephant Representative will fight for a ticket to the final by serving the team from Uncle Sam's country, the Global Badminton Academy, which is advancing to the top four as runners-up in Group B.
