In the men's team, JPX was strengthened by Hernanda Zulfi who was a player of the Indonesian National Team who succeeded in bringing Indonesia a gold medal, collaborating with Farhan Halim, Cep Indra, Jasen Natanael, Delly Dwi Heryanto, Muhammad Ridwan who was a West Java player in PON who came out as the champion.
