At the 2026 Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, the Indonesian men's doubles pair Leo Rolly Carnando and Daniel Marthin advanced to the final round. Their progression increases Indonesia's potential for securing a gold medal in the badminton tournament.
However, the prospect of an all-Indonesian final was eliminated after Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Shohibul Fikri failed to advance to the final round. While Leo and Daniel had expressed hope for an all-Indonesian matchup, the outcome leaves them as the remaining Indonesian representatives in the final.
