“Following last year’s success in Malang, this year PBSI is once again entrusted with hosting two tournaments at the International Challenge and Super 100 levels with the aim of welcoming liner and junior players to perform internationally,” said Armand.
“This tournament is also a PBSI program to continue popularizing badminton in all parts of Indonesia,” he continued.
