DEYR Umbrella organizes and facilitates sports competitions for youth teams from different districts as part of its broader youth empowerment and social cohesion strategy.

These tournaments bring together young athletes from diverse communities, providing a positive and structured platform for interaction, teamwork, and healthy competition.

The sports competitions play a critical role in promoting peace, unity, and mutual understanding among youth, particularly in post-conflict and fragile settings. By engaging young people in organized sports activities, DEYR helps reduce negative coping mechanisms, violence, and social exclusion, while encouraging discipline, leadership, and respect for shared rules.

Beyond recreation, the tournaments serve as a tool for talent development and youth engagement. Participants build physical fitness, confidence, and life skills such as teamwork, communication, and conflict resolution. The events also create opportunities for community involvement, with elders, local authorities, and families supporting and celebrating youth participation.

Importantly, district-level sports competitions strengthen inter-district relationships and foster a sense of belonging and shared identity among young people. By creating safe spaces for positive interaction, DEYR contributes to social stability, youth resilience, and long-term community cohesion.

Through these initiatives, DEYR Umbrella demonstrates its commitment to empowering youth, promoting peace, and supporting inclusive community development through sport.
