Have you ever seen a sport where players use only their feet… but play like volleyball?

Meet *Sepak Takraw*, one of Southeast Asia’s most unique and exciting sports. Played on a badminton-sized court with a net, athletes must keep a rattan ball in the air using only their feet, knees, chest, shoulders, and head.

The result? Incredible acrobatic kicks, lightning-fast reflexes, and nonstop action that feels like a mix of soccer and volleyball ⚽🏐.

Indonesia is home to many talented sepak takraw athletes and remains one of the sport’s strongest nations, helping keep this dynamic tradition alive and thriving 🇮🇩.

Are you ready for World Cup 2026? This week on , we're learning two Indonesian words you'll hear on the field, in the stands, or all across Indonesia when people cheer during sports games:

🤝 "Tim"
🔥 "Semangat"

In Indonesia, people often say "Semangat!" to cheer each other on, whether it's before a big match, an exam, or even a busy day at work. It's a simple word that reflects the warmth and encouragement found in Indonesian culture.

As we count down to the FIFA World Cup, let's celebrate the spirit that brings fans together everywhere:

🇮🇩 Satu Tim, Satu Semangat!
🇺🇸 One Team, One Spirit!

No matter where you're from, sports have a special way of bringing people together.

Which "Tim" gets your "Semangat" this World Cup? 🏆⚽

Meet Pencak Silat, Indonesia’s traditional martial art and a proud part of the nation’s cultural heritage. Combining self-defense techniques, artistic movements, physical training, and spiritual values, Pencak Silat becomes an important part of Indonesia’s cultural identity.

More than a form of self-defense, Pencak Silat teaches values that are deeply rooted in Indonesian culture, including respect, discipline, resilience, and community.

Recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, Pencak Silat is now practiced around the world, bringing people together through sport, tradition, and cultural exchange.

KJRI Houston menyapa masyarakat Indonesia di Birmingham, Alabama, 6 Juni 2026, melalui kegiatan Warung Konsuler untuk memberikan berbagai layanan kekonsuleran, mulai dari perpanjangan paspor hingga konsultasi keimigrasian.

Pada kesempatan tersebut, KJRI Houston yang berkolaborasi dengan Atase Imigrasi KJRI Los Angeles turut mensosialisasikan informasi mengenai Global Citizenship of Indonesia kepada masyarakat Indonesia yang hadir.

Kami ucapkan terima kasih atas antusiasme dan partisipasi masyarakat Indonesia di Birmingham dan sekitarnya! Sampai bertemu lagi di lain kesempatan!
