Before returning to Bandung, Narendra Arsa Pratama and her friends had the opportunity to meet the senior team who had just arrived in Singapore on Tuesday, November 5, 2024 night. All members of the PERSIB Academy team had time to talk, take pictures together and of course get an injection of motivation from coach Bojan Hodak.

Smiling faces were seen on the faces of the PERSIB Academy players because they could meet the coach and senior team players. Hodak and several players who met also appreciated the struggle of the PERSIB U12 Academy which was able to penetrate the Round of 8 in the SingaCup.
