Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung emphasized its commitment to building a balanced team, as a key foundation for the 2026 Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) season, which begins on January 10.
Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung Sports Director Youbel Sondakh said that the squad formation process was not done instantly, but rather through an in-depth study of the team's needs, player characters, and the desired direction of the game.
"We built a team with a balance between experience, the quality of local players, and tactical needs, because all of these decisions were directed towards one goal: bringing Satria Muda back to the championship and in line with the spirit of #CityofChampions ," he said after the launch of the team's official uniform and jersey at the C-Tra Arena Sports Hall in Bandung City on Monday.
Youbel explained that this approach was carried out through thorough technical planning and a long-term vision to return the club to the championship track.
