The friendly football match will be regarded as an important event. As we know, football in the ASEAN region has developed significantly. In Laos, we have been trying a lot to promote football during the past several years, especially the Lao League. As can be seen, a Lao football club got a quota to play in the Asian football league. Moreover, the Lao Premier League All Stars team was established to award outstanding players and to welcome matches against foreign teams. We also would like to thank SCG for hosting the Football Clinic for Lao young people. This will be an excellent activity that will help to inspire the children of the country.”
Mr. Wiroat Rattanachaisit, Managing Director of Sales and Channels at SCG Cement-Building Materials Co., Ltd. added,“Apart from our business objectives, SCG is strongly committed to sustainable business practices.

As can be seen, SCG has continued to implement the “SCG Sharing the Dream” program, which is one of SCG’s social responsibility activities, for five years in Lao PDR. Another important activity that SCG believes will be beneficial for the development of human capacity in Lao PDR is sport, which is considered as an international language to reach many people regardless of sex or age.”
Mr Ronnarit Suewaja, Club Director and Executive Director SCG Muang Thong United said that this match aims to test the football team by competing with other national football teams in ASEAN.
The next SCG Muang Thong United ASEAN Tour 2017 will visit Hong Kong.
