Allianz Junior Badminton Championship: Raisha Adelia extends winning streak

Kuala Lumpur, 10 September 2026

Raisha Adelia Binti Rezza extended her winning streak from 2025 with two more Qualifying Round titles at the Allianz Junior Badminton Championship (AJBC) 2026 Qualifying Round 6 in Sarawak recently.
The 12-year-old, who captured the Girls’ Under-11 singles title last year in Kuching, added two more gold medals at the end of a strong weekend in Miri. Raisha Adelia, from SK Samarahan Estate, Sarawak secured the singles and doubles crowns in the Girls’ Under-13 categories. In the doubles, she partnered Samantha Tsin Rou Yii from SMK DPHA Gapor, Sarawak.
“It has always been my expectation to win the Under-13 titles after winning the Under-11 crown last year,” said Raisha Adelia, who was runner-up in the Girls’ Under-13 doubles in 2025. “I will have another chance to play in the Grand Finals this year, so that is something I’m really looking forward to. I know the level required at the Grand Finals, so, these next few months of preparation will be important.”
The Standard Six student was introduced to the sport of badminton by her grandfather at the age of eight. And just two years later after receiving formal training at G Force BA in Serian, Raisha Adelia became a Sarawak state player.
“I believe that I’m on the right track as far as my dream of becoming a world champion is concerned,” she added. “At the moment, I’m playing in both the Singles and Doubles events. I have not decided yet which one I will focus on more.”
In the Girls’ Under-15 categories, Rosella Tania Anak Rant@Rantie from SMK Dato Permaisuri, Miri, Sarawak also landed a double. After winning the singles crown, she went on to partner Aizalea Izzara Binti Kamarulzaman of SMK Three Rivers, Mukah, Sarawak to bag the doubles title.
Darrick Ong Shang How from SMK Kuching High, Sarawak was another player who dominated the Boys’ Under-15 categories. Darrick sealed a convincing victory in the singles and then teamed up with Eldrin Tan Ka Fei of SMK Green Road, Sarawak to wrest the doubles crown.
Meanwhile, Danice Tchin Mao Quan from Chung Hua Middle School No. 3, Sarawak also walked away with two titles, emerging victorious in the Boys’ Under-13 singles before partnering Ezra Liau Jih Loch from SMK Chung Hua, Miri, Sarawak to claim the doubles.
The fifth edition of the AJBC is organised by Allianz Malaysia Berhad and supported by the Badminton Association of Malaysia and the Sports, Co-curricular and Arts Division, Ministry of Education.
