Jakarta will be the center of attention for world football fans on July 12, 2026. Higgs Games Island (HGI) officially announced an event titled HGI Football Party 2026, which will be held at fX Sudirman. The presence of Portuguese football legend Luís Figo is expected to be the main attraction of the event series, which integrates the spirit of professional sports with recreational sports.
The 2000 Ballon d'Or winner is scheduled to greet his fans in a meet-and-greet session starting at 5:00 PM WIB. For the Indonesian public, this opportunity is a rare moment to interact directly with one of the football icons widely known for his vision of the game and strategic intelligence on the pitch.
The collaboration between HGI and the National Indonesian Community Sports Committee (KORMI) aims to provide education on the importance of discipline and sportsmanship in sports. HGI emphasized that Figo's strategic values align with the essence of mind sports—a sporting discipline currently being promoted for development as it relies on analytical skills, decision-making, and sharpness of thought.
General Chairperson of National KORMI, Hayono Isman, stated that this move is part of a long-term investment in the younger generation. According to him, regeneration is the key to ensuring that strategy- and mind-based sports can grow rapidly in the country, supported by a healthy digital ecosystem that aligns with legal norms and local culture.
In addition to featuring Figo, the event series includes various initiatives to strengthen sport tourism, supported by the Jakarta Provincial Government. Through the HGI Football Party 2026, the organizers hope to build an inclusive and sustainable sports ecosystem, while inspiring the wider community to remain active and competitive in the digital era.
