Abstract

Women athletes continue to face structural barriers in sports participation, including unequal access to opportunities, compensation, sponsorship, facilities, and competitive platforms. Although formal equality may exist within sports regulations, institutional practices can produce substantial disparities in the treatment of male and female athletes. This article examines the legal protection available to women athletes against gender discrimination in Indonesian sport. Using normative juridical research, the study analyzes equality principles, human rights, employment law, sports governance, and relevant international standards. The study identifies potential gaps between formal commitments to equality and practical mechanisms for preventing and remedying discriminatory treatment. Particular attention is given to recruitment, remuneration, sponsorship opportunities, access to training facilities, competition scheduling, and institutional decision-making. The article proposes a gender-responsive sports governance framework requiring transparent selection criteria, non-discriminatory contractual standards, equal access to facilities and development programs, and effective complaint mechanisms. Equality should be assessed not merely through identical treatment but also through whether institutional practices produce unjustified structural disadvantages. Strengthening legal protection for women athletes would contribute to a more inclusive sports system while reinforcing Indonesia's broader commitments to equality, human dignity, and non-discrimination.

Abstract

Gender-based inequality in professional sport extends beyond differences in remuneration and may involve unequal opportunities for competition, sponsorship, media exposure, career advancement, and institutional support. Debates surrounding equal pay therefore require consideration of the broader structural conditions under which male and female athletes compete. This article examines gender inequality in Indonesian professional sport through a sports justice framework. Using normative legal research, the study evaluates equality principles, employment protections, contractual arrangements, sports governance, and the economic structures of professional sport. The research argues that formal equal treatment is insufficient where institutional practices systematically provide different opportunities to athletes based on gender. At the same time, differences in commercial revenue cannot automatically justify discriminatory treatment where athletes perform comparable professional functions. The article proposes a multidimensional equality framework incorporating remuneration, access to competitions, sponsorship, facilities, medical support, career development, and representation in sports governance. It further recommends transparent criteria for determining compensation and commercial benefits while ensuring that market-based considerations do not become a mechanism for perpetuating structural discrimination. Applying a sports justice perspective would shift the discussion from simple comparison of salaries toward broader questions of distributive, procedural, and substantive equality within Indonesia's professional sports industry.

Abstract

Concussions and other head injuries present serious risks to athletes, particularly where return-to-play decisions are influenced by competitive pressure. Sports clubs and federations have a responsibility to establish reasonable systems for preventing, identifying, and managing such injuries. This article examines the legal responsibility of Indonesian sports organizations for preventable head injuries suffered by athletes. Employing normative juridical research, the study analyzes duty of care, sports safety standards, medical responsibility, organizational liability, and athlete protection principles. The study argues that liability should not depend exclusively on whether an individual medical professional committed negligence. Clubs and federations may also bear responsibility where they fail to establish appropriate concussion protocols, provide qualified medical personnel, adequately train coaches, or prevent premature return to competition. The article proposes a systems-based duty-of-care framework encompassing prevention, immediate assessment, removal from play, medical clearance, monitoring, and long-term follow-up. Contractual provisions that pressure athletes to compete despite medical restrictions should not eliminate institutional responsibility. Establishing clearer legal duties would encourage sports organizations to treat concussion management as a governance obligation rather than merely a medical matter. Such a framework is essential to protect athlete health while creating clearer standards for determining organizational responsibility when preventable head injuries occur.

Abstract

Match-fixing represents a significant threat to the integrity and credibility of professional sport. Although manipulation is commonly associated with individual athletes or officials, the phenomenon may also reveal weaknesses in organizational governance, monitoring systems, reporting mechanisms, and financial controls. This article examines institutional accountability for match-fixing within Indonesian professional sport. Using normative juridical research, the study analyzes sports governance, criminal and disciplinary responsibility, integrity frameworks, and institutional duties to prevent manipulation. The research argues that effective anti-match-fixing regulation must move beyond punishment of individual offenders and address structural conditions that facilitate corruption, including inadequate oversight, financial vulnerability, conflicts of interest, and weak whistleblower protection. The article proposes a multi-layered integrity framework incorporating risk assessment, monitoring, mandatory reporting, protection for whistleblowers, transparent disciplinary procedures, and cooperation between sports organizations and public authorities. Institutional responsibility should arise where organizations knowingly tolerate integrity risks or fail to implement reasonable preventive mechanisms. Such an approach would complement individual criminal and disciplinary sanctions while strengthening organizational accountability. A comprehensive integrity framework is essential to preserve public confidence, protect athletes from coercive manipulation, and ensure that sporting competition remains fair and credible within Indonesia's professional sports ecosystem.

Abstract

Professional athletes may experience significant economic and social vulnerability after retirement from competitive sport. Short career durations, sports-related injuries, limited financial planning, and dependence on performance-based income can create long-term welfare challenges. Despite their contribution to the sports industry and national sporting achievements, retired athletes may lack adequate institutional mechanisms for social security, health insurance, rehabilitation, and career transition. This article examines the legal responsibility of sports organizations, clubs, and the state to protect Indonesian professional athletes after retirement. Using normative juridical research, the study analyzes social security, employment protection, sports governance, insurance, and state responsibility for athlete welfare. The research identifies a potential protection gap between the period of active competition and post-retirement life, particularly for athletes who suffer permanent injuries or lack alternative employment skills. The article proposes a comprehensive athlete transition framework involving mandatory insurance, retirement planning, vocational training, injury-related benefits, and institutional support for career transition. Responsibility should be distributed among athletes, clubs, federations, and the state according to their respective roles and capacities. Strengthening post-career protection would recognize professional athletes not merely as temporary sporting assets but as rights-bearing workers whose welfare should remain protected beyond their competitive careers.
