The positive results achieved by Indonesian athletes at the Singapore Open 2026 are a strong signal that the national badminton regeneration process is progressing positively. Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri's achievement in reaching the final, as well as Alwi Farhan's passage to the semifinals, highlighted the strong mix of older players and the future generation, making them more competitive at the world level.
This achievement also reflects the continued development efforts of PBSI and strategic partners, particularly PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk or BNI, to assist the growth of Indonesian badminton talent.
BNI Corporate Secretary Okki Rushartomo said that every international tournament is not only a platform for achieving success, but also an important part of the process of developing a champion mentality and increasing the competitiveness of Indonesian athletes on the global stage.
"Fajar/Fikri's success in reaching the final and Alwi Farhan's impressive performance in the semifinals demonstrate that the regeneration of Indonesian badminton athletes continues to move in a positive direction. This provides crucial capital for future major tournaments and confirms that ongoing development is starting to show tangible results," said Okki.
Entering the Indonesia Open 2026 which will take place at the Istora Gelora Bung Karno, Senayan, Jakarta, starting June 2, 2026, BNI again provides full support to the athletes who will bring Indonesia's name to the public.
A total of 21 Indonesian athletes will compete in the Super 1000 level tournament. The presence of experienced senior players combined with promising young athletes is a strong reflection of the ongoing regeneration of the national badminton scene.
In the men's singles, Indonesia will rely on Jonatan Christie and Alwi Farhan, who are showing positive progress. Meanwhile, Putri Kusuma Wardani will represent Indonesia in the women's singles.
In the men's doubles sector, Indonesia is strengthened by Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin, Muhammad Rian Ardianto/Rahmat Hidayat, Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani, Raymond Indra/Nikolaus Joaquin, and Ali Faathir Rayhan/Devin Artha Wahyudi.
Meanwhile, the women's doubles sector is strengthened by Apriani Rahayu/Lanny Tria Mayasari, Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti/Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi, Febriana Dwipuji Kusuma/Meilysa Trias Puspitasari, Rachel Allessya Rose/Febi Setianingrum, and Isyana Syahira Meida/Rinjani Kwinara Nastine.
The mixed doubles sector will be strengthened by seven pairs, namely Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu, Dejan Ferdinansyah/Bernadine Anindya Wardani, Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Gloria Emanuelle Widjaja, Bobby Setiabudi/Melati Daeva Oktavianti, Adnan Maulana/Indah Cahya Sari Jamil, Amri Syahnawi/Nita Violina Marwah, and Marwan Faza/Aisyah Salsabila Putri Pranata.
According to Okki, the Indonesia Open is an important opportunity for athletes to continue their positive trend and prove their abilities in front of their home fans.
"We hope the athletes can perform at their best, demonstrate their best fighting spirit, and continue Indonesia's tradition of badminton success at the global level. Supporting national sports is part of BNI's commitment to contributing to the development of a generation of champions who will make Indonesia proud," he emphasized.
BNI is optimistic that worldwide competition experience, regular coaching assistance, and a rising spirit of regeneration will serve as a solid foundation for future success. Together with PBSI, BNI will continue to promote the development of future Indonesian athletes so that they can compete at the global level and pass down the national badminton glory from generation to generation.
