Sports is a Part of Our Culture

This isn’t the first time KLC Group has taken the field. Football has long been part of the Group’s spirit – a catalyst for team bonding and a symbol of physical and mental well-being.

This year’s participation continues that tradition and adds extra meaning as it coincides with the 30th anniversary of HUTECH’s founding, making the journey even more special.

KLC Group FC: Playing with Heart, Fighting with Pride

With 32 teams of HUTECH alumni and enterprise leaders, the tournament was packed with excitement and fierce competition from March 29 to April 12. The group-stage and knockout format brought intense physical battles and technical showdowns that kept the crowds on the edge of their seats.

Representing the Group, KLC Group FC gathered players from various departments—different roles, same fire. From their first match, the team’s motto was clear: Play hard, fight for the Green of KLC!

At the Hitech Park Campus field, facing younger and technically sharp opponents, KLC Group FC stayed grounded in sportsmanship and never backed down. “Winning wasn’t our only goal,” shared the team captain. “We came to showcase the spirit of KLC—fearless, passionate, and all in.”

What made the journey even more meaningful was the team’s commitment before the tournament. Despite packed schedules, the players trained consistently after work, ran tactical drills, and built chemistry through friendly scrimmages—laying the groundwork for the fiery performances on the pitch.
