Hyundai Hands Over 148 Vehicles to Support the Success of FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023™
Jakarta, November 7, 2023 – Today, Hyundai Motor Company, a sustainable mobility partner of FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023™, announced the handover of 148 fleet vehicles including its CRETA, STARGAZER, PALISADE as well as its IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 BEVs for FIFA executives and officials at Jakarta International Stadium. As a sustainable mobility partner of FIFA, Hyundai will facilitate seamless and efficient transportation operations during the tournament in Indonesia.
The FIFA U-17 World Cup is a global youth football tournament held every two years since 1985. Indonesia is hosting the event for the first time, and this edition also marks the debut of the Garuda Muda team in the tournament. The FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023™ will welcome 24 teams and will take place from November 10 to December 2 in four cities and stadiums: Jakarta (Jakarta International Stadium), Bandung (Jalak Harupat Stadium), Surabaya (Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium), and Surakarta (Manahan Stadium).
We are proud to be part of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Indonesia 2023™. This partnership reinforces Hyundai Motor's commitment to support younger generations and help young football players reach their full potential as football’s popularity keeps growing here in Indonesia. We hope that the presence of the IONIQ 5 and IONIQ 6 BEVs alongside other Hyundai flagship models will ensure the smooth running of the tournament. Our ‘Goal of the Century’ campaign is testament to our desire to help young Indonesian players achieve their dreams.
