IPYG Victory Cup, achieving unity through Sports Tournament.

The definition of sport is

noun.
1. an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

2. a person who behaves in a good or specified way in response to teasing, defeat, or a similarly trying situation.

Wtih IPYG, I believe there are more meanings in the word of 'sport.'
Below is the news published on the Brunie Times regarding the Victory Cup Sport Tournament. This Victory Cup does not aim for to win others, but its main goal is to promote peace, reconciliation and harmony beyond the nation, race, religions and languages. It might sounds easy, but harmonizing with other from who are grown from different background are not an easy matter.

It requires much more than 'trying to unite.' IPYG, we play sports to unite and harmonize with people from different ideology. Victory Cup was held annual from regional matches to Final Match. Through team sports, we learn how to cooperate as one team. Sport helps us to bound together especially beyond the language barriers.
