Bandung, December 10, 2025 – Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung officially announced the contract extension with its center, Julian Chalias. This decision solidifies the club's commitment to retaining a young player who is deemed to have long-term potential.
Looking back at this young player's journey, Julian's professional path began when he participated in the Senior National Team selection in 2020 under coach Rajko Toroman. His name continued to rise through his involvement with the Indonesia Patriots program in 2022 and 2023 before making his debut with Satria Muda. In the last two seasons, Julian contributed to the team achieving the IBL 2024 runner-up, the All Indonesia Cup 2024 runner-up, and the All Indonesia Cup 2025 championship title, which became an important momentum for Satria Muda's new era in Bandung.
At the announcement of his new contract, Julian explained the main reason he chose to stay. "SM feels like home. This team was the first to believe in my abilities and saw my potential over my shortcomings. That's why I always prioritize Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung over other teams," said the player of French-Surabaya descent.
He continued, "Since the first practice at Britama, our goal has always been the same: to get better every day and win championships. Now that we are in Bandung, there is a huge responsibility because we represent the entire city, and that gives me a special motivation," he added.
On this occasion, Julian also expressed his appreciation to the supporters. "I thank all the fans of Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung who not only support but also dare to provide constructive criticism. That has greatly helped my development, both as a player and as a person."
The Satria Muda management gave a positive response to Julian's decision to extend his contract. Managing Director of Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung, Christian Ronaldo Sitepu, considers Julian's consistency as a strong basis for the club to retain him. "I am very happy that Julian is continuing his cooperation with Satria Muda. Now that we are together in Bandung, I hope this step is good for Julian and for Satria Muda. I hope Julian's career develops further and all his aspirations can be achieved through this journey with the club," he said.
Sport Director of Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung, Youbel Sondakh, a former coach who clearly knows Julian's talent and ability, also welcomed this decision. "The signing of this contract is an important moment for both parties, Satria Muda and Julian. What I need to remind Julian about is professionalism."
"In this era of Satria Muda, Julian will be more demanded regarding his commitment as a player, and this contract shows that we believe Julian can do it well. I am happy that Julian is staying, and I hope this step can encourage other good players to commit to Satria Muda as well," said Youbel.
With the completion of this contract extension process, Satria Muda Pertamina Bandung ensures the stability of its core player composition heading into the next competitive season. The club views retaining players like Julian as a strategic step to face increasingly fierce competition, while also strengthening the team's new identity in Bandung.
Let’s go, Julian! (SAM)
