Jakarta, 25 May 2025 – PT Bank Central Asia Tbk (BCA) reaffirmed its commitment to support the development of national sports by participating in the PBPI Indonesia Open Padel Circuit 2025. This initiative reflects BCA’s contribution to uplift the quality of Indonesia’s human resources through various positive initiatives, including sports.
The first competition of PBPI Indonesia Open Padel Circuit 2025 officially started on Friday (23/05) at Padel Pro Kemang, Jakarta. The opening ceremony was attended by Deputy for Sports Industry Development at the Ministry of Youth and Sports Raden Isnanta, Secretary General of the Indonesian National Sports Committee (KONI) Tubagus Ade Lukman, Chairman of the Indonesian Padel Association (PBPI) Galih Dimuntur Kartasasmita, and BCA Senior Vice President Norisa Saifuddin.
“We believe that sports are not only essential for physical health, but also play a vital role in shaping character, discipline, a competitive spirit, and a sense of collaboration. These are fundamental values in building a strong and excellent generation. BCA’s support for the PBPI Indonesia Open Padel Circuit 2025 is our tangible commitment to contribute to the development of national sports, while also driving the holistic improvement of Indonesia’s human resources,” said BCA Senior Vice President Norisa Saifuddin.
This tournament unites local padel athletes—both male and female—ranging from amateur to professional levels.. More than 100 pairs of padel athletes will compete in various categories, making it one of the largest padel competitions in Indonesia. This tournament marks the beginning of BCA’s support for a series of padel tournaments organized by PBPI throughout 2025. Looking ahead, BCA will also support an international level padel tournament, the FIP Bronze Indonesia, which is scheduled to take place in Jakarta this June.
PBPI was established in response to the growing public interest in padel. In addition of physical activity, padel has evolved into a part of a healthy lifestyle and a means for social interaction. In recent times, padel courts have been increasingly popping up across various regions. The community stands to benefit, as the growing popularity of padel expands the range of sports that can be enjoyed collectively.
“With the growing public enthusiasm for padel, we see great potential to develop this sport more seriously, while also opening up new industry opportunities, expanding employment, and nurturing national athletes capable of competing on the international stage. BCA will continue to support various initiatives that drive the growth of padel and contribute to the development of outstanding and competitive Indonesian human resources, both nationally and globally,” concluded Norisa.
