UPNVJ Public Relations – Veteran National Development University Jakarta (UPNVJ) will hold an inter-work unit badminton tournament on November 12–13, 2026, at the Putra Perdana Cilobak Sports Hall. The competition, part of a series of events commemorating UPNVJ's 49th anniversary, will involve various staff members, from faculties, bureaus, institutions, and campus operational support staff. In addition to celebrating the university's anniversary, the event aims to strengthen relationships between employees through a sporting competition that upholds sportsmanship and togetherness.
The tournament featured three categories: men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles. All matches brought together representatives from work units within UPNVJ, providing a platform for interaction between employees from various fields who perform different tasks and functions.
According to the committee's regulations, participants come from the Faculties of Economics, Law, Social and Political Sciences, Computer Science, Engineering, Medicine, and Health Sciences. Participation is also open to the General Affairs Bureau, the Academic and Student Affairs Bureau, the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM), the Institute for Quality Assurance and Learning Development (LPMPP), the combined Academic Support Units (UPA), security personnel, and cleaning staff.
The involvement of these various elements is a crucial aspect of organizing a tournament. Competitions not only bring participants together to compete for victory, but also provide opportunities to build communication and bond among employees outside of their daily work activities.
Through sports, the commemoration of UPNVJ's 49th anniversary is expected to serve as a momentum to strengthen a sense of belonging to the institution. The togetherness fostered through the games is also expected to foster a more harmonious, collaborative, and respectful work environment.
In terms of implementation, the committee has determined that players competing in the men's or women's doubles categories are permitted to compete in the mixed doubles category. All matches will be officiated by a referee, subject to technical requirements established by the committee.
Registration is open until Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 11:59 PM WIB. Each participant is required to prepare their own sports equipment and arrive at least 30 minutes before the start of the competition to ensure the smooth running of the competition.
This badminton tournament is expected to not only serve as a sporting event within the 49th Anniversary celebrations but also to strengthen the culture of togetherness within UPNVJ. The spirit of sportsmanship, cooperation, and solidarity fostered through competition are crucial values in supporting UPNVJ as a growing higher education institution focused on community service.
