UPH’s Shared Sports Facilities

At Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH), sports are more than just campus activities; they are a bridge that connects the university with the surrounding community. With this spirit, UPH opens several of its sports facilities to the public, ensuring that the benefits of its infrastructure can be enjoyed not only by students but also by local residents, the general public, schools, and youth groups.

The UPH Soccer Field is one of the most popular facilities widely used by the community. Open free of charge, it has become a lively gathering place where neighbourhood children, teenagers, and even local amateur clubs come together to train, play, and compete in friendly matches. On weekends, it is common to see local school teams practising soccer, flag football, and frisbee side by side with UPH students, creating an atmosphere of inclusivity, teamwork, and shared passion for the game.

In addition to the soccer field, UPH provides access to basketball courts, outdoor multi-purpose areas, the UPH gym, a swimming pool, a badminton court, and other sports facilities that are accessible to the public and are frequently utilised for joint tournaments, charity matches, and outreach events. The basketball court is also used by the local basketball club (Eagles Academy) every Sunday. These spaces have hosted everything from casual community exercise programmes to inter-school sports days, reinforcing UPH’s role as a hub for both education and holistic community development.

By opening its doors through sports, UPH not only promotes healthier lifestyles but also strengthens social bonds, empowers youth, and nurtures a sense of belonging between the university and the public. These shared facilities stand as a testament to UPH’s belief that education and community well-being go hand in hand.
