Badminton is not just a sport in Indonesia—it’s a national obsession. The country has a long and storied history in the sport, and its players continue to excel on the global stage. At the 2024 Badminton Asia Championships, Indonesia once again demonstrated its dominance, winning gold medals in men’s singles, men’s doubles, and mixed doubles.
The rise of Indonesian badminton can be traced back to the success of legends like Rudy Hartono and Taufik Hidayat. Today, players like Anthony Ginting, Jonatan Christie, and Marcus Fernaldi Gideon continue to carry the torch for Indonesian badminton, regularly competing and winning at the highest levels.
Indonesia’s Badminton Association has played a key role in nurturing talent, with a focus on developing players from a young age. The country’s badminton academies are renowned for their high level of training, producing world-class athletes who go on to win international titles.
As Indonesia continues to dominate the sport in Asia, its players are eyeing the 2028 Olympics as their next major challenge. With the country’s rich badminton tradition and a pipeline of young talent, Indonesia is expected to remain a powerhouse in the sport for years to come.
