Badminton is a popular sport in Indonesia and is considered one of the national sports. As an Indonesian, I have been exposed to badminton since I was young and have occasionally played it with friends and family. While I would not say that I deeply love the sport, I do enjoy playing it and sometimes following events surrounding it.

What I find most interesting about badminton is the level of skill and technique that players display. The way they move around the court, the speed and accuracy of their shots, and the concentration required to play at a high level is truly impressive. Watching professional badminton players is a sight to behold, and I am constantly amazed by their skills.

One of the world's biggest badminton tournaments is the Indonesian Open Badminton, held annually in Jakarta as part of the BWF (Badminton World Federation) tour. The tournament attracts the best players from around the world, including famous Indonesian players such as Anthony Ginting. I am always excited to watch the finals of the Indonesian Open Badminton, as the tournament always features intense matches and thrilling moments that leave fans on the edge of their seats.

Note that getting tickets for badminton matches in Indonesia can be quite competitive, as demand is very high. Online ticketing can be especially crowded, so it's important to plan ahead if you want to attend a match.

Badminton has become a popular sport among Indonesians, played not only by professionals but also by amateurs and enthusiasts of all ages. It is not uncommon to see people playing badminton in parks, schools, and other public places. In big cities like Jakarta, it is difficult to find an empty badminton court because so many people play this sport. Indonesia's love for badminton is a testament to its popularity.

The atmosphere at Istora Senayan during badminton matches is electric, with Indonesian badminton fans known for being particularly boisterous and loud. It's an unforgettable experience to watch a match surrounded by such passionate and enthusiastic fans.
