Shoplazza and Hassan Sunny Inspire Youth Through Soccer and Technology in Seattle

Shoplazza Partners with Hassan Sunny to Inspire Youth in Seattle

In an inspiring initiative, Shoplazza has teamed up with United Sports FC to support the soccer journey of youth in Seattle. From April 28 to May 5, 2025, the former Singapore national team goalkeeper, Hassan Sunny, graced the city with his presence, conducting a series of youth-focused soccer activities aimed at empowering the next generation through sports and technology.

Hassan Sunny, a prominent figure in Asian soccer, holds a remarkable record with 115 international appearances for Singapore and is known for his exceptional skills as a goalkeeper. His presence in Seattle was not merely about showcasing his football prowess; it was an opportunity to mentor young aspiring players through hands-on training sessions, coaching workshops, and discussions on navigating a professional sports career.

During the week-long event, Hassan led free soccer clinics, participated in charity events, and interacted directly with local youth. His engagement helped to foster a supportive community where young players could learn essential skills and gain confidence on and off the field. The highlight of the week was his special appearance in a United Sports FC match, which energized local fans and encouraged greater participation in the sport.

Shoplazza's involvement in this initiative underscores its commitment to youth development and cultural exchange through technology. The e-commerce platform is dedicated to empowering organizations by providing the necessary tools to grow and make a social impact. A representative from Shoplazza remarked, "Youth sports build more than just skill—they shape confidence, discipline, and connection. We’re proud to support Hassan's journey to help provide a platform for young talent to thrive."

Additionally, during this initiative, United Sports FC launched its official fanwear store using Shoplazza’s platform, enhancing fan engagement by providing a robust e-commerce solution. This collaboration not only promotes the soccer club but also showcases how digital tools can advance community-focused sports organizations effectively.

Founded by Ye Tian, who brings over 20 years of professional experience in football coaching to the non-profit soccer club, United Sports FC aims to provide comprehensive support for aspiring soccer players. The club's mission aligns with Shoplazza's approach in combining technology and sports to create meaningful experiences and pathways for youth.

With the support of Singapore Global Network and East West Bank USA, the partnership signifies a broader commitment to youth empowerment through soccer programs, emphasizing the role of mentorship in shaping the future of young players. The success of Hassan Sunny's visit illustrates the potential of using sports as a medium for inspiration and growth, paving the way for future initiatives where athletes can play a pivotal role in community engagement.

As the initiative concludes, it leaves an imprint not just on the young athletes who participated, but also on the community as a whole, showcasing the positive impact of sports and technology together.
