JAKARTA - Portuguese football legend Luis Figo is in Jakarta to become an ambassador for the 2026 Football Festival, which was initiated by Higgs Games Island (HGI) and received support from the Indonesian National Community Sports Community (KORMINAS).
The series of events took place at FX Sudirman, Jakarta, on Sunday, July 12, 2026. A number of exciting activation series with various interactive games and various prizes are prepared for the general public, especially sports lovers. The event then continued to meet & greet and a closed gala dinner. Figo said that he was very happy to be able to work with HGI so that he had the opportunity to return to Indonesia. He also hopes to make a significant contribution to the partnership they have built. "I hope to help the company gain brand awareness, achieve their goals, and let's see in the future if they are happy then they can bring me back to Jakarta," he said in a press conference in Jakarta.
The presence of the 2000 Ballon d'Or winner also marked Indonesia as not just a spectator, but a center of international attention. This is in line with the government's mission to develop healthy, competitive, and inspiring young generations. Figo emphasized that the success of collaboration is not only determined by the economic benefits obtained, but also by the quality of the relationship that is forged. He also admitted that he was happy to work with Luis Figo as a support for HGI to realize a thriving sports ecosystem and can become a flagship. HGI will also be a sports accelerator through technology synergy. Ray as a representative of HGI said that the current generation has lived side by side with technology since youth so that Figo's presence as a legend of the green field can be an inclusive medium between physical sports and mind sports, especially in the digital medium. "Luís Figo is like we know is a legend of the green field. So, how he honed tactics and made decisions in the middle of the game is something that can be very inspiring for sports activists of the mind," he said.
