A soccer tournament to celebrate our workers
At SpaceKap, we believe a company’s success starts with the strength of its team. That’s why we organize the Fibro-Cup, an annual soccer tournament dedicated to our employees. It’s become a much-anticipated event, especially among our Latin American workers.
Key Takeaways
- The 2025 Fibro-Cup was its third edition, with about 30 workers taking part alongside their families.
- The tournament grew out of a direct request from SpaceKap’s Latin American employees, for whom soccer holds deep cultural significance.
- It’s one of several team activities SpaceKap runs year-round, including apple picking, bowling, and bingo.
Why did SpaceKap start the Fibro-Cup?
Soccer, a beloved sport and cultural cornerstone in Latin America, brings the team together in a festive and unifying atmosphere. But the Fibro-Cup is more than just a game. It creates opportunities for connection and camaraderie that extend well beyond the field and into daily work.
“This is the third edition of the Fibro-Cup,” says Maria Mayorga, Director of Human Resources. “Our Latin American employees were asking for a tournament. Soccer is like a religion to them! This year, about 30 workers took part, joined by their families, wives, and children. It’s a wonderful integration activity. We want our employees to be happy!”
What other team activities does SpaceKap organize?
The Fibro-Cup is just one part of a broader commitment to team building and employee well-being. Offering experiences that reflect employees’ interests helps build a real sense of belonging. “In addition to soccer, we also organize activities throughout the year, such as apple picking, bowling, and bingo,” adds Maria.
Why does SpaceKap invest in events like this for its foreign workers?
SpaceKap’s workers, especially its foreign employees, are essential to the life and growth of the company. They fill crucial roles and contribute directly to its vitality, and events like the Fibro-Cup are one way of showing that appreciation in a real, inclusive way.
“This type of event is more than just entertainment,” says General Manager Étienne Bouchard. “It’s a way to recognize the importance of our foreign workers and to provide them with an environment where they feel valued and integrated. SpaceKap’s success is built daily by their hands. They are a vital part of our team and our future.”
Soccer reminds us of a simple truth: a united team can achieve anything. At SpaceKap, our big family is our greatest strength, and our greatest victory. Read more about how SpaceKap supports its workforce in our series on foreign worker integration.
