The story behind the brilliant opening night of the football tournament

The opening ceremony of the 2025 ASEAN Police Football Tournament took place not only as a starting ceremony for the tournament, but also as a grand symphony, where every move, every streak of light, every melody was staged as chapters on friendship, sportsmanship and the desire to unite countries in the region.

The atmosphere before the kick-off was filled with the energy of thousands of spectators, passionate music and lighting effects along the stands. Lively cheering performances, familiar songs were refreshed with modern arrangements, leading everyone to an emotional climax before the official ceremony began.

Behind each eye-catching frame is a modern technology system that has been invested in thoroughly – from the laser mapping system covering the entire field, the international standard mobile stage to the LED flags quietly flying high in the night sky. These seemingly invisible elements create the specialness of the event – where the sublimation only truly begins.

Observant people can recognize the mark of SHB and T&T in the faint banner/image of the tournament, in the ensemble performance; to the full, meticulous presence of hundreds of SHB and T&T officers in the performances that blend performing arts and social messages.

That contribution was not ostentatious, but imbued with the spirit of companionship: not standing in the middle of the stage, but being the one to spread the message. SHB and T&T, together with the organizer Zeit Media, were the ones who built the space for young voices to sing the aspirations of the region. It was this quiet presence that created a depth for the event - where the sponsor's role did not stop at financial support, but also became a co-architect of the long-term values that the tournament aimed for.

From the moment the drums resounded in the middle of the field, opening the art program with the mashups "The Road We Walk", "Joining Hands", "Unstoppable", to the moment the championship trophy was "unveiled" by representatives of ASEAN countries and Australia, every image carried within it meticulousness, sophistication and strong inspiration.

The climax exploded when dozens of children from SHB FC Academy sang together with more than 500 performing artists, aiming for a common aspiration: to build a Southeast Asia united for peace. The light of hundreds of LED devices moving in sync on the actors’ hands was like the heartbeat of a living, trusting, and walking together towards the future.

No detail is random. Each performance aims at: trust, cooperation, development, peace. The presence of police officers, children, and business officials in the performance is like each class of society walking together on the same field, where sports is no longer a competition but a common language of trust and respect.

Therefore, SHB and T&T Group did not appear directly, but chose to be the ones holding the background, the ones standing behind but understanding every movement of the entire event. A lamplighter does not stand under the light, but thanks to that, the light can spread.

The opening ceremony has ended. But the emotions remain. The story has just begun. And behind it all – are those who have chosen to accompany silently, so that sports, culture and humanity can shine fully, sincerely and sustainably.
