Domino Championship Concludes, PB ORADO Eyes Professional League and Sport Tourism Development

The recent National Domino Sports Championship (Kejurnas ORADO) 2026, held in Bogor, has concluded, showcasing a growing level of competition in both senior and junior categories. South Sulawesi emerged victorious in the junior division, while Bangka Belitung clinched the senior title. This event marks a significant milestone for PB ORADO, the national governing body, as it sets its sights on ambitious future developments.

From the entire series to the final match, we see the quality of play becoming more evenly matched, both in the senior and junior categories. This is an indicator that development is going well and producing competitive athletes.

PB ORADO's leadership has articulated a clear vision for the sport's progression. The organization intends to establish a professional, club-based domino league, aiming to create a more structured and sustainable system for athlete development. This move is expected to foster a higher caliber of play and provide a clearer pathway for aspiring domino athletes.

“

We are targeting that in the future ORADO will have a domino league whose participants are professional clubs. This is important so that athlete development can run more structured and continuously.

Beyond competitive development, PB ORADO is strategically positioning domino as a key component of Indonesia's burgeoning sport tourism sector. The organization believes that by integrating domino events with tourism initiatives, they can stimulate local economies, support small and medium-sized enterprises (UMKM), and create added value for host regions. This dual focus on athletic excellence and economic impact underscores a forward-thinking approach to sports management in Indonesia.

We also want ORADO to have an economic impact through sport tourism. Every event is expected to attract visits, drive the UMKM sector, and provide added value for the host region.

From an Indonesian perspective, this development is particularly exciting. Domino is a widely accessible and popular game, played across various social strata. By professionalizing the sport and linking it to tourism, PB ORADO is not only elevating the game but also creating opportunities for broader community engagement and economic benefit. This contrasts with how many Western countries might view domino, often as a casual pastime, whereas here, it is being cultivated as a legitimate sport with significant national potential.

All stages of the competition that ran consistently and structured are proof that we are ready to move to the next level. National competition standards are starting to form.
