Allianz PNB Life bagged the silver award for Best Sports CSR (corporate social responsibility) Initiative of the Year during the recently 2018 SPIA Asia-Asia’s Sports Industry Awards & Conference in Bangkok, Thailand, for the Allianz National Youth Futsal Invitational (ANYFI).
The ANYFI is a nationwide futsal competition that promoted futsal among Filipino teens, teaching them the value of teamwork, passion and discipline, which led to the selection of the Philippine delegates to the Allianz Junior Football Camp (AJFC) Asian and global editions held in Bangkok, Thailand, and Munich, Germany.
Over 400 sports industry professionals from around the world gathered during the three-day sports marketing conference, which concluded with the awarding ceremony that recognized the best sports projects of the year.
This is the fourth year the sports awards are being held.
“Allianz supports grassroots development programs through sports,” said Gae Martinez.
The Best Sports CSR Initiative of the Year went to HSBC Try Rugby Programme of CSM Sport & Entertainment, an entry from Hong Kong.
