MAD Padel – New racket sport community growing rapidly in Jakarta

Padel sport — a unique combination of tennis and squash — has experienced significant growth in Indonesia since last year. Amid this rising popularity, MAD Padel community emerged as a hub for racket sport enthusiasts in Jakarta.

Farras Zhafran, MAD Padel Community Chairman, outlined his group’s development since December 2024 — now boasting over thousand active members.

“Yes, our membership has exceeded 1000. However, our regular weekly events typically attract between 30-50 players,” Farras explained during a meeting at Milos Padel, Kemang, South Jakarta.

This Mexican-originated sport has successfully attracted various segments of society — not just professional athletes, but also recreational players seeking new experiences in the world of racket sports.
