Welcome toThe Lads FC.

A sportainment agency that started as a Sunday-league group chat — and along the way built close ties with the key figures in Indonesian and international football. Players, legends, creators, communities, venues: we work with them directly.

The short version

Not a media company.
A football-first crew.

We believe football is more than 90 minutes — it's a lifestyle, an identity, and Indonesia's most powerful cultural currency. So we don't market at football fans. We are the football fans, and we bring brands into the conversation the way a mate brings a friend to the game.

"We don't just participate in the conversation. We dictate the play."

01

Agency

Strategy to war room to wrap report, one integrated team.

02

IP Builder

We build and own formats — The Haye Way, Away Days, Fun Football.

03

Community Hub

Our community isn't an audience. It's the team we activate with.

04

Long Game

Academy and our own professional club by 2028. Yes, really.

Your friend, on and off the pitch

We know the key figures.
In fact, they ball with us.

Over the years we've built close, working relationships with the people at the centre of football and sportainment — Timnas players, legends, KOLs, supporter groups, pundit networks, venue owners and international football figures. So when a brand needs access, we can usually make the call directly — no slow agency layers in between.

Five things we're annoyingly good at

One squad.
Five ways in.

Pick one, or let us run all five at once — that's usually when it gets fun. Every service plugs into the same circle, so your campaign moves with the culture instead of chasing it.

Sportainment × Digital PR hybrid campaign

Our magnum opus.
GBK. One mural. One record.

At the FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026, we turned the stands of Gelora Bung Karno into the largest human mural in the country — and walked out with a MURI record. Built with Danone AQUA and La Grande Indonesia, it was a stadium moment, a national headline and a piece of content the whole country shared. Basically everything we do, all at once.

Okay, business time

Your brand,
on the pitch.

Here's what most brands miss: you don't need official rights to reach the passion. Enter through community and you get the same energy at a fraction of the cost. Three ways to start.

PROJECT

One moment, done big

A launch, a tournament, a matchday — one campaign, one window.

RETAINER

Always on the team sheet

Season-long presence in football culture, every week, every derby.

PERFORMANCE-LINKED
