Asian Tigers Group Singapore sponsored the ANZA Soccer game on 23rd April 2016—a big memorable day for the community. Well, this was no ordinary soccer event, but a double celebration where the community had come to mark the end of a very successful ANZA Soccer season and, more importantly, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of ANZA Soccer. The atmosphere generally was one of joy and enthusiasm as the community came to celebrate these milestones.

ANZA Soccer has been part of the lives of young budding soccer enthusiasts here in Singapore, offering them development through friends and the love of the game. This was a massive growth over the years as ANZA Soccer had grown to become one of the large fixtures in the local community. The 40th-anniversary celebration was fittingly held in a poignant way for the enduring impact and success of the program.

The event was further boosted by the addition of Asian Tigers Group Singapore as one of its sponsors. With its commitment as a company to support community-based activities, Asian Tigers Group certainly did not hesitate to participate in this very important event. Their participation extended beyond financial support, for they were really part of the program to see to it that it was, indeed, a day worthy of memory for each of its participants.

One of the event’s highlights was when all the 956 young soccer players were given goodie bags from Asian Tigers, filled with various items, to put smiles onto the faces of these young athletes. That was just a small gesture of appreciation for work and dedication put in during the season. Seeing the young players return home with goodie bags in hand was a satisfying sight for the sponsors and organizers alike.

The event was well-organized, ensuring every stakeholder had fun out of it. A number of activities and games were organized for the young players, making the atmosphere festive. Parents and watchers also had their due share of fun, cheering up the teams and celebrating the sporting spirit.

ANZA Soccer has never been just another sports program; it is a community through which so many young players developed key life skills of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. It was not possible to have the success of this program with committed coaches and volunteers, not forgetting the sponsors represented by Asian Tigers Group. So, above all, this collective effort and dedication marked the 40th-anniversary celebrations.

In the future, the Asian Tigers Group Singapore said that they wish ANZA Soccer all the best in the continued success of the younger age-group development program. As a sports enthusiast company, they honestly feel committed to supporting any such initiative aimed at the holistic development of young individuals. The consequence of this relationship shall only make it more termed, providing the best environment for nurturing of young soccer enthusiasts in Singapore.

In summary, the Asian Tigers Group Singapore’s sponsorship of the ANZA soccer game on April 23, 2016, was one of the biggest community events ever held to celebrate the beautiful game.
