Badminton Association of Indonesia (PP PBSI) officially degraded men’s doubles players Rahmat Hidayat and Muh. Putra Erwiansyah from the Cipayung National Training Center, according to an announcement published on the federation’s official social media channels on August 1, 2026. The federation issued a formal statement thanking both athletes for their hard work, dedication, and achievements during their tenure at the national headquarters, while confirming their departure under an official degradation decree.
The Career Trajectory and Partnership Changes of Rahmat Hidayat
Rahmat Hidayat reached a career-high ranking of 26th in the world during his time at the national training center, according to tournament records. His profile rose sharply in June 2023 when national coaches selected him to partner with former world number one Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. That high-profile pairing debuted at the Korea Masters and Japan Masters in November 2023, but their run ended in the 16th round.
Following the split with Sukamuljo, coaches paired Rahmat with Yeremia Rambitan, a partnership that yielded three titles and a runner-up finish. By 2025, Rahmat shifted to a new partnership with Muhammad Rian Ardianto. According to match results, the duo captured one title at the International Challenge 2025 and reached the semifinals of the Thailand Masters 2026. However, their momentum stalled soon after, culminating in an early exit at the Indonesia Open in June 2026 before the federation issued his degradation.
Muh. Putra Erwiansyah’s Partnership Shifts and Results
Muh. Putra Erwiansyah spent his final months at Cipayung paired with Bagas Maulana. According to competition data from 2026, the pairing failed to secure significant results across four matches, exiting each event in the 32nd round. Prior to that partnership, Erwiansyah achieved a career-best ranking of 54th in the world alongside Daniel Edgar Marvino in February 2026, building on a previous title victory at the Indonesia International Challenge.
