Sport in Indonesia

Sport in Indonesia is still not a given like it is in the Netherlands. Even though a lot of attention is spent on sport by the ministry, it still does not get enough attention amongst society. Because of this ‘the power of sport' is still not experienced enough. Especially people with a disability are excluded from participating in sport- and motion activities.

In Indonesia sport is mainly practiced by the richer part of society. Sport facilities and sport activities are often allied to private initiatives and universities (schools). The consequence is that the poorer layers of society get little to no access to sport. Especially people with a disability and women are being excluded from participating in sport- and motion activities.
