Farhan closed off his final year in the junior circuit by captaining Indonesia's mixed teams in the Asian and the World Junior Championships.^[14][15] While Indonesia finished as runners-up in both mixed team events,^[16][17] Farhan earned his own spotlight at the individual events. He brought home a bronze medal from the Asian Junior Championships^[18] and became Indonesia's first ever boy's singles world champion.^[6]

In September, Farhan won his first senior title at the Indonesia International tournament in Medan.^[19] In the next tour, he lost at the first round of Indonesia Masters Super 100 I to Aidil Sholeh.^[20]

Farhan helped Indonesia secure its first ever Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships title, having won all his matches including an upset against veteran Ng Ka Long.^[27][28] He went on to his Sudirman Cup debut as the team's second-ranked men's singles player, making his mark with a victory against world number 3 Anders Antonsen at the group stage and coming home with a bronze medal.^[29][30]

After strings of early exits against more experienced players, Farhan secured his first World Tour title at the Macau Open Super 300.^[31] His debut at the BWF World Championships ended in the third round after a tight three-game match against Olympic silver medalist Kunlavut Vitidsarn.^[32] At the Korea Open, he overturned a losing situation to Weng Hongyang to reach the semi-finals,^[33] where he conceded to eventual champion Jonatan Christie.^[34] Unfortunately, he did not manage to join his compatriots at the Australia Open finals, after suffering a reverse sweep in a quarter-final match against Chou Tien-chen.^[35]

Farhan wrapped up an eventful year with a second SEA Games team event gold and winning the individual men's singles title against compatriot Zaki Ubaidillah.^[5][3]

Farhan's Super 1000 debut at the Malaysia Open ended early due to stomach problems plaguing his match against Alex Lanier.^[36] He rebounded at the Indonesia Masters, snatching Indonesia's sole title at home with a 25-minute victory against Panitchaphon Teeraratsakul.^[37] However, he missed out on a consecutive final opportunity after losing at the Thailand Masters semi-final to eventual champion Zaki Ubaidillah.^[38]

In his All England Open debut, Farhan finally avenged his Australia Open loss to Chou Tien-chen.^[39] However, he lost tamely to Kunlavut Vitidsarn in the quarter-finals.^[40] On the next tournament, he moved to the final in the Swiss Open but lost to Yushi Tanaka.^[41]
