Digital Innovation and Community Engagement

As part of its comprehensive approach, Bank Mandiri introduced a special edition JLM e-money card, integrating sports development with digital innovation.

This digital integration aims to strengthen community engagement with the team and enhance the overall sports ecosystem.

Competitive Landscape and Future Prospects

JLM will compete in Proliga 2026 against established teams such as Electric PLN, Jakarta Popsivo Polwan, and Bandung BJB Tandamata. The competition will run from January 8 to April 26, 2026. With its professional infrastructure and comprehensive support system, JLM is positioned to be a strong competitor in the national volleyball league.

Strategic Alignment with National Development Goals

The establishment of JLM aligns with Bank Mandiri's broader strategy of supporting national development through sports. Henry Panjaitan highlighted that the values promoted through sports, such as teamwork, leadership, and discipline, are crucial for national development. The initiative represents a significant investment in Indonesia's future sporting talent and reflects the bank's commitment to creating long-term social impact.
