On September 11, Almaty’s Central Stadium was filled with those who love bright football, Kazakhstan stars and stylish Hyundai cars!

A show match featuring singers, film directors and million-plus bloggers was devoted to the presentation of a new model, the Hyundai Bayon, and gathered over 17,000 spectators.

The sports format of the presentation was selected for a reason. Hyundai Motor Company has been cooperating with FIFA as an official automobile partner and official FIFA sponsor since 1999. The design of the Hyundai Bayon is called Sensuous Sportiness. Apart from that, tickets are raffled off amongst potential clients for the FIFA World Cup to start in November in Qatar.

Almaty’s Hyundai championship went perfectly! Sergazy Toktarbek (Seka), Adilet Bissariyev, Nurgali Sissingaliyev, Gadilbek Janai, Tauekel Musslim, Nurzhan Kermenbayev, Asset Karabalin, Ayan Birbayev, Kuanysh Kemirkulov, Anvar Matzhanov, Margulan Turssynov, Myrza Makhambet, Mukassan Shakhzadayev, Azamat Syzdykov, Adylzhan Umarov, Azat Assanov, Daulet, and Maksat Seidakhmet took the field.

The organizers prepared impressive support means for the fans: vuvuzelas, flags, and bright face painting. However, the players created the amazing atmosphere themselves. Alatau and Cartop teams, football amateurs but show professionals, were holding the attention of the spectators. Just as the new Hyundai Bayon!

Denis Kolomatsky, Director of Hyundai Auto Kazakhstan (an Astana Motors company):

«It is the 10th model in the Hyundai line-up that we manufacture in Kazakhstan. Hyundai Motor Company has designed the car for the European market. We have made a long way to present the Hyundai Bayon on the Central Asian market, which included adaptation, certification, and logistics. We started to work on the pilot batch in August, guided by a delegation from Hyundai Motor Company. We jointly tuned up processes, monitored the process at each stage and in each shop, and checked the quality at each stage — that was the top priority for Hyundai Motor Company. Now we can officially manufacture this model in Kazakhstan. The serial production will be launched in October.”

Timur Mustafayev, a popular car blogger, told about the technical features of the Hyundai Bayon. He noted that the soft character, elegant outline, and thoughtful equipment of the model, especially the SmartSense system, would surely win the hearts of Kazakhstan women.

You can have a closer look at the Hyundai Bayon, test drive, and place a pre-order in Hyundai dealerships.

At the end of the football show devoted to the Hyundai Bayon, the most active and bright player was awarded. Astana Motors chose Maksat Seidakhmet, Alatau goalkeeper, who will get two tickets to FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022!
