Farewell at Jaya Sabha and Rp20 million in travel support: Deputy Mayor Kadek Agus Arya Wibawa sends off Bali’s young football ambassadors as they chase a title in the Lion City.
DENPASAR, Letternews.net – Denpasar City FC (Football Club), an early-age football club from Denpasar City, is set to spread its wings onto the international stage. The club, which develops young talent on the Island of the Gods, is officially taking part in the prestigious age-group football championship SingaCup 2026, held in Singapore from 30 to 31 October 2026.
At the international event, Denpasar City FC is fielding two of its best age groups, the under-8 age group (KU-8) and the under-10 age group (KU-10). Each team is made up of 12 young players chosen through strict selection and an intensive training scheme.
Before leaving for the Lion City, the management, coaching staff and young players of Denpasar City FC held an audience and made a formal farewell to the Deputy Mayor of Denpasar, I Kadek Agus Arya Wibawa, in Denpasar. The visit was to ask for his blessing, direction and support so that the whole series of matches would run smoothly and bring the best results.
Denpasar City FC Management Coordinator Putu Sayang Merdawa explained that taking part in SingaCup 2026 is part of the club’s commitment to continuous development since it was founded about a year ago.
Our target is of course to win the title, but just as important is giving the children experience of playing at international level. After being forged at Bali regional level and sweeping trophies in four age groups (KU-9, KU-10, KU-12 and KU-14) at the previous national event, the children now have the chance to sharpen their competitive mentality against opponents from various countries.

The Deputy Mayor of Denpasar, I Kadek Agus Arya Wibawa, expressed his appreciation and pride in the courage and achievements of Denpasar City FC’s young players. In his view, experiencing competition abroad will build the character of tough footballers ready to strengthen the next generation of Denpasar City athletes for the Piala Soeratin and the Bali Provincial Sports Week (Pekan Olahraga Provinsi, Porprov) in the future.
As a sign of the Denpasar City Government’s care and real support for early-age sport, Deputy Mayor Arya Wibawa also handed Rp20 million in travel money to the Denpasar City FC management.
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 and disciplined, uphold sportsmanship, and do not forget to pray for safety at your own family temples (merajan) before you leave.
Deputy Mayor Arya Wibawa
Through its matches at SingaCup 2026 in Singapore, Denpasar City FC is expected not only to bring a winner’s trophy home to Bali, but also to keep consistently producing golden prospects for professional football for the progress of Indonesian sport.
