Women's football in Indonesia is not popular but is mainly played in affluent areas in Indonesia.^[1]^[2]

One of the barriers of the sport growing is that many women experience prejudice for playing the sport.^[3]^[4]

In December 2017, Women's Football Association of Indonesia (ASBWI) was created in their first congress in Palembang.^[5]
