Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) strengthened its long-standing partnership with the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) through a turnover of Vehicles-in-Kind (VIK) to help mobilize the delegation and officials of the first-ever FIFA Futsal Women’s World Cup event hosted in the Philippines from November 21 to December 7, 2025.
The turnover marked another milestone in Hyundai’s support for the sport, proudly continuing a relationship that began in 1999, when Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) became an official global partner of FIFA. This partnership has since grown into one of the most established collaborations in international football.
For this year’s historic Philippine-hosted competition, HMPH provided a fleet composed of the SANTA FE, TUCSON, KONA Hybrid, and multiple STARIA variants. These vehicles were used to transport officials, athletes, and technical teams throughout the duration of the tournament, ensuring seamless and comfortable mobility across venues.
“We are honored to support FIFA as they bring world-class futsal to the Philippines for the very first time. Hyundai has been a proud global partner of FIFA for 25 years, and this local turnover is a meaningful extension of that legacy. By providing dependable mobility through our latest models, we hope to contribute to a successful tournament and to the continued growth of football and futsal in the country.” says Mr. Cecil Capacete, Managing Director of HMPH.
The VIK turnover reinforces Hyundai’s belief in the power of sports to unite communities and inspire progress – above all, it serves as a reflection of the brand’s global vision of “Progress for Humanity”, extending the brand’s mission of mobility outside the dealership.
