Jakarta, [January 13, 2026] – Royal Sports, a premier sports healthcare center in Indonesia, today officially announced a strategic partnership with Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung Basketball Club through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Since 2017, Royal Sports has been trusted as a medical and performance partner by various Indonesian Basketball League (IBL) clubs, including Prawira Harum Bandung, Dewa United Banten, Borneo Hornbills, and Tangerang Hawks Basketball Club.
This collaboration marks an important milestone for sports associations and leagues such as PERBASI and the IBL in building an international-standard sports ecosystem. The partnership focuses on game-ready athlete health, injury prevention, early detection of health issues, and performance enhancement through targeted training programs, nutrition strategies, and proper sleep quality. This shared vision underlines that sustainable peak performance requires comprehensive and evidence-based health management.
The signing ceremony took place at Royal Sports in Sunter, attended by representatives from Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung, management teams from Royal Sports and RS Royal Progress, and supported by a multidisciplinary team of specialists. As part of the commitment under the MoU, Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung players will undergo medical check-ups specifically tailored for basketball—a comprehensive assessment grounded in evidence-based medicine to optimize physical fitness and mental readiness ahead of the competition.
Speaking at the event, Ms. Derice Sumantri, Founder of Royal Sports, stated, “Royal Sports respects the distinct needs of every sport and every individual athlete. The assessments we provide for basketball players must differ from those for soccer players because they utilize their bodies in different ways. We want to ensure they are in peak condition to play, detect injuries at an early stage, and equip athletes with a multidisciplinary team of doctors—because their bodies represent an investment in their careers and their passion for the sport.” Proper medical management of basketball athletes by internationally certified teams is crucial to ensuring players are fully prepared for competition.
Through this partnership, Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung gains access to Royal Sports’ comprehensive suite of services. For musculoskeletal injury management and performance recovery, Royal Sports deploys a specialized team of Sports Orthopedic & Arthroscopic Surgeons alongside Sports Medicine Specialists. Progressive recovery and performance enhancement efforts are executed by Sports Physiotherapy teams and Sports Performance Trainers, complemented by recovery solutions such as Cryotherapy and structured recovery programs to maintain physical readiness throughout the season.
To reinforce performance foundations, Clinical Nutritionists provide precise strategies for nutritional intake, hydration, and body composition; meanwhile, Sports Psychology & Psychiatry services help maintain focus, mental resilience, and performance consistency from game to game. In emergency scenarios, Royal Sports adheres to International Patient Safety Standards with fast-track access for trauma and accidents, including medevac support when necessary. Royal Sports’ portfolio also encompasses regenerative therapies such as PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and Stem Cell therapy, Vertimax Recovery programs to accelerate functional rehabilitation, as well as multidisciplinary support spanning spine, cardiology, pulmonology, ophthalmology, internal medicine, neurology (including head trauma management), dermatology, and pediatrics—delivering a holistic, end-to-end approach.
“Sustained performance stems from comprehensive, measurable, and evidence-based health management. Through this partnership, Royal Sports is committed to delivering service standards that enable Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung players to compete at maximum readiness while minimizing injury risks,” said Dr. dr. Bobby Natanel Nelwan, Sp.OT (K), Sports Injury Consultant at Royal Sports, Founder of the Indonesia Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy (IOSSMA), and Vice Chairman/President-Elect of IOSSMA.
On behalf of Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung, Christian Ronaldo Sitepu, Managing Director of Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung, stated, “Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung has always placed the health and physical well-being of our athletes as the top priority in every team program. Having Royal Sports as a strategic partner greatly strengthens that commitment by providing dedicated support so our players remain protected, recover optimally, and stay ready to perform consistently in every game.”
“The support from Royal Progress through Royal Sports brings a tangible impact to Satria Muda’s journey. Standardized health, nutrition, and recovery programs help us maintain performance consistency across the entire season. This is a critical part of our preparation to compete at the highest level and deliver the best achievements for the club and our supporters. With this partnership, we step forward with greater confidence toward our target of winning the championship.”
Over the years, Royal Sports has also supported both national and international sports organizations—including PSSI, PBPI, FPTI, Pordasi, the Indonesian Softball League, Ballet Academy, the Indonesian Masters Golf Tournament, the Indonesian Ice Hockey Federation, and the Jakarta Mandiri Marathon—as part of its cross-sport commitment to strengthening the national fitness ecosystem. With a clinical track record that includes performing over 5,000 surgical procedures and clinical interventions annually, alongside 23,000 post-competition medical check-ups and recovery programs, Royal Sports continues to establish itself as an effective, empathetic, and results-oriented sports healthcare partner.
This extensive experience and multidisciplinary capability serve as a strong foundation for Royal Sports to elevate Sports Medicine standards in Indonesia, supporting the development of national sports through injury prevention, recovery optimization, and sustainable performance enhancement. Through this collaboration, Royal Sports and Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung look ahead to future competitions with the conviction that science, empathy, and teamwork form the true foundation of champions.
