Also as the Official Partner of FIFA World Cup 2018, Kia lent its support to aspiring young football players and fans to be a step closer to achieving their dreams through the Kia “Champ Into The Arena” futsal tournament and the Kia Official Match Ball Carrier competition in Malaysia which were held over two weekends.
Dato’ Samson Anand George, Group CEO, Automotive Group, Naza Corporation Holdings (below) said, “Through these competitions, Kia seeks to build bonds with potential customers and fans of these events and give them a chance to connect with the brand in a more personal and meaningful manner by nurturing young football talent.”
The Malaysia leg of the Official Match Ball Carrier competition was held at the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) on 22nd April 2018 for children from the age of 10 to 14. The competition saw 14-year-old Adam Riezman taking home the title of “Official Match Ball Carrier” to represent Malaysia as one of 64 children from all over the world who receive a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to carry the match ball onto the pitch during FIFA World Cup 2018.
A Portugal supporter at the FIFA World Cup and an avid fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, Adam (above) hopes to see his favourite team and player in action at the world event in Russia. “I am thankful to my parents for supporting my ambition and passion for football since I was 9. I can’t wait for this trip to Russia where I will get to meet football fans alike who share the same love for football. Thank you also to Naza Kia Malaysia for giving me this opportunity to represent Malaysia as their Kia Official Match Ball Carrier,” said Adam.
The Kia Official Match Ball Carrier competitions are held in countries worldwide in search of young football fans. The Malaysian leg of the competition saw more than 200 participants from every corner of Malaysia gathering at KLFA Sport Centre Kuala Lumpur to show off their abilities to vie for the coveted spot. Participants were tested on several areas such as agility, skill, attitude and teamwork in a nationwide tournament held at the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA).
Team TOT United from Kuala Lumpur emerged as the champions of the Malaysian Kia Champ Into The Arena tournament and will represent Malaysia in the international Kia Champ Into The Arena World Finals in Russia
About 170 teams who took part in the Kia ‘Champ into the Arena’ 2018 tournament went through a vigorous competition, where qualifying rounds were held from 31 March to 21 April 2018 in Peninsular Malaysia – namely Penang (Northern), Terengganu (East Coast), Johor (Southern) and Selangor (Central). Only top four successful teams from each region progressed to the Malaysians Grand Finals which took place at KLFA Sport Centre in Taman Melawati, Kuala Lumpur last Sunday.
Held on 29 April 2018, the ‘Champ Into The Arena’ futsal tournament aims to search for a talented futsal team that will represent Malaysia to compete on a world stage. This is the fourth time Naza Kia Malaysia organised this futsal tournament in conjunction with the FIFA World Cup and UEFA Euro 2018. The first was in 2010.
Team TOT United, from Kuala Lumpur emerged champion and earned the right to represent Malaysia in the international Kia Champ Into The Arena World Finals in Russia! The competition will run concurrently with FIFA World Cup 2018 from 15 June to 15 July in Russia.
“My team and I are ecstatic and proud to be representing Malaysia at the international Kia Champ Into the Arena World Finals in Russia! Our team was only formed during the qualifying round in Penang. To prepare for the final few matches, we had to undergo intensive training for a short period of time and I am so glad that the blood, sweat and tears we shed paid off,” said senior TOT United team member, Hazizi bin Mansor.
25-year-old Hazizi is no stranger to the international stage as his previous team also emerged as victors for the Malaysian Kia Champ In The Arena tournament in 2014 and represented Malaysia that year in Brazil.
The winning team, TOT United comprising six players aged 23 to 26, will fly to Russia on an all-expenses paid trip inclusive of accommodation, flight tickets, tour, RM5,000 cash prize and exclusive tickets to watch one of the World Cup Final Match live.
Kia Champ Into The Arena is more than just a futsal tournament as it is a way of Naza Kia Malaysia giving back to the public and customers for their loyalty and support. Apart from the futsal tournament, there were a variety of activities such as an exhibition match and a photo booth station, and the chance to test drive and have a feel of the Kia’s product line-up that were on display.
You can make a difference too. Shell would like to invite all Malaysians to help in the lives of underprivileged children through its Shell Raya Charity Campaign 2018. Now in its fourth year, this initiative has been expanded to take place over 9 days, with an increased donation of up to 2 sen (RM0.02) for every litre of fuel pumped with the participation of Mastercard.
On 19 May, 26 May, 2 June and 9 until 14 June 2018, Shell will donate 1 Sen (RM0.01) for every litre of fuel pumped at any Shell station nationwide. An additional donation of 1 Sen (RM0.01) per litre will be made by Mastercard when motorists pay using their Mastercard.
“Shell’s mission is to make life’s journeys better for all Malaysians, by offering high quality fuels and making a positive impact in the communities where we operate. Children are the future of our nation, and we believe in supporting those in need to help them achieve their full potential. Through the generous support of Malaysians over the past 3 years, we have made a difference in the lives of over 5,200 underprivileged children.” said Shairan Huzani Husain, Managing Director of Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd and Shell Timur Sdn Bhd.
Perry Ong, Country Manager, Malaysia and Brunei, Mastercard echoed the sentiment, “Mastercard is honoured to collaborate with Shell on a campaign that gives back to the community during one of Malaysia’s key festive seasons. This initiative underscores Mastercard’s commitment to support important causes such as children’s development as part of its global Priceless Causes effort which brings together partners and cardholders to do good. Donations will play a part in supporting the provision of school meals as an essential form of nourishment for children’s wellbeing. Additionally, cardholders can also make charitable contributions via the Mastercard Donations Platform, a digital platform which lets people donate conveniently and safely.”
The Shell Raya Charity Campaign focuses on capacity building for underprivileged children since its inception in 2015. Thanks to the generosity and support of Malaysian motorists, donations have allowed charitable organisations to fund educational programmes, renovate facilities, and upgrade office equipment.
This year, the funds will be donated to seven selected charitable organisations across the country; The Kalsom Movement (Nationwide), Yayasan Chow Kit (Klang Valley), Majlis Kebajikan Kanak-Kanak Malaysia (East Coast, North, South), Project T.R.Y (Transforming Rural Youth, Sabah), Pertubuhan Ibu Bapa Kanak-Kanak Keperluan Istimewa Sarawak, Montfort Youth Training Centre (Sabah), and HAUS (Sarawak).
Every contribution matters, and Motorists are invited to take part in this initiative beginning Saturday, 19 May 2018 by simply fuelling up at any Shell station nationwide. Be sure to mark the remaining dates – 26 May, 2 June and 9 until 14 June 2018 – in your calendar.
