Febriana is proud to have the trust of her peers to lead the women’s doubles. She is optimistic about her team’s ability to challenge for the gold medal.
“It’s a pleasure to have been chosen as captain. Me and my friends want to show that this women’s badminton team can win a gold medal for Indonesia,” Febriana said in a received statement.
On the other hand, having the confidence of being captain puts its own pressure on Sabar, who will be making his debut in this bi-annual multi-sport festival.
He said that as the longest-serving player in the team that traveled to Thailand, he was ready to take on the responsibility of leading the friends who had given him confidence.
“Hope I can guide others and hope I can also perform to my fullest. Coherence and communication between them will be the key to the success of this team,” he declared.
Sabar and Febriana and their colleagues underwent a one-hour training session directly after arriving in Thailand on Friday evening. This warm-up is intended for initial adaptation and to relax muscles that are stiff.
“This first training session served as an initial adaptation before tomorrow materialized even more. Overall, the court conditions did not differ too much from those in the Thai Open or Masters arena,” Sabar said.
The 2025 Eastern Pacific Games badminton matches will be held at Gymnasium 4 of Thammasat University Rangsit Campus from December 6 to 10 for doubles and from December 11 to 14 for singles.
Indonesia has selected 20 athletes, including 10 girls and 10 men. They were designated to bring home two gold medals from this bi-annual event.
