Jakarta has once again witnessed the integration of professional and recreational sports through the HGI Football Party 2026. The event, initiated by Higgs Games Island (HGI) and fully supported by the National Indonesian Community Sports Committee (KORMI), took place at fX Sudirman on July 12, 2026, featuring Portuguese football megastar Luís Figo as the main highlight.
The presence of the 2000 Ballon d'Or winner is expected to serve as an inspirational catalyst for Indonesia's younger generation. Through a direct interaction session, Figo is hoped to instill the competitive spirit and high level of dedication that are key to the success of a professional athlete, which can then be adapted into various recreational and mind sports disciplines.
HGI emphasized that its involvement in this event reflects its commitment as a technology accelerator supporting government programs. The main focus is to build a digital sports ecosystem that is healthy, competitive, and adheres to applicable laws and local cultural values in Indonesia.
The General Chairman of KORMINAS, Hayono Isman, highlighted the importance of regeneration in accelerating the growth of mind sports in the country. According to him, strategic collaboration between the government and digital industry players such as HGI serves as a vital investment instrument for the future of young Indonesian talents.
Echoing this sentiment, HGI representative Ray stated their readiness to continue partnering with the government to advance mind sports. The integration of technology and community is seen as a strong foundation for maintaining the sustainability of a digital sports ecosystem that prioritizes player skill and sportsmanship.
