Indonesia Clinches First Gold Medal at 2026 Asian Games

Moh Zaki Ubaidillah clinched the deciding match as Indonesia rallied from 0-2 down to end a 28-year wait for the team title.

  • On Thursday, Indonesia defeated defending champions China 3-2 in the men's badminton team final at Ichinomiya City Municipal Gymnasium in Aichi, claiming the gold medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games.
  • The victory ended Indonesia's 28-year wait for the men's team title since Bangkok 1998, while China's loss prevented the nation from becoming the first to win three consecutive men's team titles after victories at Jakarta-Palembang 2018 and Hangzhou 2022.
  • Indonesia initially fell 0-2 behind after Jonatan Christie lost 13-21, 18-21 to Shi Yuqi and Fajar Alfian-Shohibul Fikri fell 20-22, 21-19, 14-21 to Liang Weikeng-Wang Chang, before Alwi Farhan and Leo Rolly Carnando-Daniel Marthin leveled at 2-2.
  • Moh Zaki Ubaidillah, known as Ubed, sealed the gold by defeating Weng Hongyang 23-21, 21-13 in the deciding fifth match. Leo Rolly Carnando stated the team played "like there's nothing to lose," which proved effective.
  • The gold marked Indonesia's first medal at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games since competition began September 19, with Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin motivated by their unsuccessful 2022 Asian Games experience against Korea to execute their comeback strategy.
