Jakarta became the main stage for a convergence between professional football and the mind sport industry through the HGI 2026 Football Party event at fX Sudirman. The event featured Portuguese world football legend Luís Figo, who interacted directly with fans and finalists of a juggling competition during an exclusive series of activities.
The presence of the 2000 Ballon d'Or winner was more than just a typical meet-and-greet. The organizer, Higgs Games Island (HGI), considers Figo's tactical mastery and quick decision-making on the pitch to be a true representation of mind sport values. In collaboration with the National Indonesian Community Sports Committee (KORMINAS), HGI aims to integrate digital strategic skills with modern sports integrity.
This event marks a strategic step toward elevating strategy- and analysis-based games—such as digital dominoes—into a competitive and widely recognized branch of mind sports. This transformation is reflected in the success of various tournaments in major cities like Makassar, Surabaya, and Jakarta, which received official support from the government alongside active community involvement.
HGI's long-term commitment also emphasizes consumer protection, transparency, and compliance with applicable regulations in Indonesia. By combining public enthusiasm with measured supervision, the mind sport ecosystem is expected to continue growing into an integral part of an inclusive and sustainable national sports industry.
