Exuberant! This one word that can precisely describe KOSALTUN, Komunitas Futsal Fortune (also called as Fortune Futsal Club).
KOSALTUN has been actively having its regular practices on every Monday, 20:00 WIB, at Durian Futsal which is located in Jagakarsa, Ragunan, South Jakarta. The club was officially founded in March 30, 2012. However, it has been active running long before it is officially formed. In 2011, for example, KOSALTUN won futsal competition organized by Bisnis Indonesia newspaper.
This futsal club whose logo is an elephant is originally set up by an agreement of 12 people who wished to formed a futsal club. They were driven by the desire to follow various futsal competitions held by the media. At that time, futsal competition which was organized by Persatuan Perusahaan Periklanan Indonesia (P3I) – an association for Indonesian advertising companies – became the starting point of those 12 people to do their practices consistently. Consisting of the Support Team such as office boy, driver to the staffs of Fortune Indonesia business units is indeed becoming an integral part of KOSALTUN.
KOSALTUN SPIRIT
The most memorable experience for Najib Rashid, Senior Copywriter Fortune Indonesia, which is also the chairman of KOSALTUN, was when the team joined the competition that was held on March 2012 by P3I at Cilandak Sport Club. “The willpower of KOSALTUN members to compete in P3I Competition was able to overcome any difficulties. At that time, although it was formed in a short time, even to drink was too difficult because of the limited supply of drinking water, but the spirit still remains. We won once, draw once and lost once, and for a newly formed team in such a short period it is not something to be shameful of,” he said.
“The pride to carry the name of the company, PT Fortune Indonesia Tbk. and the desire for giving appreciation that is not solely limited to the work-related matters has been realized through the willpower of each KOSALTUN members.”
When being asked further, Najib admitted that the defeat in the futsal competition that was held last March is indeed painful. However, the sense of pride in bringing the name of the company, PT Fortune Indonesia Tbk., and the desire for giving appreciation that is not solely limited to the work-related matters has been realized through the willpower of each KOSALTUN members.

Over time, KOSALTUN has been growing both in terms of quality and quantity. Under the leadership of Najib Rashid, the currently registered KOSALTUN members are as many as 25 people. They are coming from the Activator, DoubleU Anythink, Innovation and Business Development (IBD), and Touchpoint that is a brand team of Fortune Indonesia, reinforced by representatives of Pelita Alembana, namely the Frontline and PlanB, and completed by a few members of the Fortune Adwicipta, Fortune PR and Support Team.
Whenever they do not have to do overtime, meeting with clients, or other job demands, KOSALTUN members always try to find a time to keep up their workout routines every week. This exercise is held to improve their quality in playing futsal. The more they exercise, the more capable they are in knowing the playing pattern of their friends during the game, so that it will increase the level of cooperation and formed a more robust and solid team.

The existing spirit and willpower will be further enhanced by the presence of KOSALTUN team uniform. “Hopefully, it can be approved so that we have a uniform” Najib wished. The planned uniforms is strived to increase the sense of pride and belonging of each members. “A good skill at playing the ball is actually coming from the office boys and the drivers. If they have this uniform, it is expected that their sense of belonging and the desire to win the game will also rise, so they will be more enthusiastic to play,” Najib added. Hopefully, Najib’s and other KOSALTUN members’ wish can be realized and KOSALTUN can be the champion in the upcoming matches. Keep up the spirit, KOSALTUN! Kick ass!
