Denpasar City FC is sending two youth teams, under-8 (KU-8) and under-10 (KU-10), to the international SingaCup 2026 tournament in Singapore, and the Deputy Mayor of Denpasar has backed the trip with Rp20 million in travel support.

UPDATEBALI.com, DENPASAR – Denpasar City FC (Football Club) will take part in the international early-age football event SingaCup 2026, held in Singapore on 30 and 31 October. This time the club from Denpasar City is sending two teams, the under-8 age group (KU-8) and the under-10 age group (KU-10), to compete and to gain experience on the international stage.

Before leaving for Singapore, the players and the Denpasar City FC management said farewell to the Deputy Mayor of Denpasar, I Kadek Agus Arya Wibawa, and asked for his blessing and support so that they can take part in the tournament smoothly and achieve the best results.

The Denpasar City FC management coordinator said taking part in SingaCup 2026 is part of the club’s continuing process of developing early-age players. The two teams being sent were formed through selection and development based on the training scheme applied by the coaching team.

At SingaCup 2026 we are sending two age groups, the under-8 (KU-8) and under-10 (KU-10). Each team is made up of the 12 best players from our selection. Our target is of course to win the title, but just as important is giving the children experience of playing at international level.

Denpasar City FC management coordinator

He explained that before taking part in the international tournament, the Denpasar City FC players had played in various competitions at Bali regional and national level. That experience is an important foundation for improving the players’ technical ability, competitive mentality, discipline and self-confidence.

At the previous national competition, Denpasar City FC entered four age groups: KU-9, KU-10, KU-12 and KU-14. All four age groups brought home trophies. This achievement motivates the club to keep improving the quality of its development work and to give young players the chance to grow through wider competition.

After being forged at Bali regional and national level, the children now have the chance to sharpen their mentality and ability at international level. They will gain experience of facing players from other countries, so they can learn a lot, both in how they play and in how they conduct themselves in a match.

He added that Denpasar City FC was founded only about a year ago, with the vision and mission of developing football from an early age in Denpasar City. This development work is expected to produce a generation of footballers able to follow in the footsteps of senior players and compete at every level of championship.

In the future, the players now in development are expected to move up to older age groups and have the chance to play in competitions such as the Piala Soeratin in its various age groups, the Provincial Sports Week (Pekan Olahraga Provinsi, Porprov) and other competitions.

Deputy Mayor’s message

Meanwhile, the Deputy Mayor of Denpasar, I Kadek Agus Arya Wibawa, expressed his appreciation for the spirit of the young Denpasar City FC players and the opportunity they have earned to take part in the international football tournament.

In his view, taking part in SingaCup 2026 is a valuable opportunity for the children to develop their abilities, gain experience, and build their mentality and character as future football athletes of Denpasar City.

Agus Arya Wibawa also told all the players to look after their health, discipline, team unity and spirit throughout the matches. He hopes the players can show their best ability, uphold sportsmanship and protect the good name of Denpasar City and Bali.

Before departing, the players are also expected to pray at their family temple (merajan) or family shrine to ask for safety, a smooth journey and guidance during the tournament.

As a form of support for the development of early-age athletes, the Deputy Mayor of Denpasar also gave the Denpasar City FC team Rp20 million in travel support to help them take part in the international event.

These children are the future athletes of Denpasar City, and we all need to support them together. We hope this chance to take part in an international tournament will be a valuable experience that improves their ability and their competitive mentality. Stay healthy, uphold sportsmanship, and give your best for Denpasar City.

I Kadek Agus Arya Wibawa, Deputy Mayor of Denpasar

Through its participation in SingaCup 2026, Denpasar City FC is expected not only to achieve results, but also to further strengthen early-age football development in Denpasar City. The experience of playing abroad is expected to help the young players keep developing and, in time, contribute to the progress of football in Bali and Indonesia.
