Since 2016, the Halyk Charitable Fund has been the general sponsor of the Futsal Championship, the most popular sport among students in Kazakhstan. The competition is held under the auspices of the National Student League (NSL), which unites leading universities, colleges, and student communities across the country.

In August 2018, the Halyk Charitable Fund also supported the Futsal World Championship, where 25 of the best student teams from 17 countries competed—16 men’s teams and 9 women’s teams. The tournament featured not only student athletes but also professional players from top clubs in Europe and Latin America. Held every two years under the auspices of the International University Sports Federation (FISU), the championship was hosted in Kazakhstan for the first time.

Matches took place at Almaty Arena and Halyk Arena. Despite being a first-time host, Kazakhstan received high praise from FISU representatives, who called it the best championship in the event’s history. The Kazakhstan national student team earned a silver medal, marking a proud achievement for the country.

The Halyk Charitable Fund allocated more than 50 million tenge to support the successful organization of the championship.
