JAKARTA - The Indonesian team will start their struggle at the 2023 Mixed Team Asia Badminton Championships today, Tuesday, February 14. On the first day, Fajar Alfian and his friends had to face a tough task.

The Red and White squad must pass two matches today. First against Lebanon at 12.00 p.m. Western Indonesian Time (WIB) and Syria at 20.00 p.m. WIB.

These two opponents are fairly easy to overcome. For this reason, this moment will be properly utilized by the Indonesian team.

PBSI Head of Development and Achievement Division Rionny Mainaky said all athletes would play in these two matches. This strategy was carried out because the Red and White Squad will play in two matches.

According to him, it is important to rotate so that all players can compete. "To face the two matches on the first day of the match, we will arrange two teams," said Rionny in a written statement reported by Antara.

"This is to face Lebanon in the morning and Syria in the afternoon. We will rotate the players that are displayed," he continued.

This strategy is also expected to make the players adapt to the atmosphere at the Dubai Exhibition Center which is the arena for matches.

"By fielding two teams, players can adapt to the arena of competition and also to strategy. So that all players can play and get the atmosphere of the match," Rionny explained.

The following is the schedule for the Indonesian team's matches on the first day of the Group C preliminary round of the 2023 Mixed Team Badminton Asia Championships in Dubai:
