From late-night games to influencer tournaments, padel is more than a sport in Indonesia
From late-night games to influencer tournaments, padel is more than a sport in Indonesia
Indonesia is the 6th fastest growing market for padel in Southeast Asia, according to the country’s sports body Koni.
About 100 clubs and 350 courts have opened in the country in the last two years.
Guaranteed prime-time court bookings and weekend slots often require club membership.
In some parts of Jakarta, new courts are popping up almost every month.
Social media has certainly fuelled the rise in the game’s popularity, as influencers share match highlights and courtside selfies.
However for some, the sport represents an expensive and exclusive lifestyle.
