To support the mandate’s implementation of the United Nations Integrated Transition Assistance Mission In Sudan (UNITAMS) on peacebuilding, the EU funds a joint UNITAMS-UNICEF programme in West Darfur to promote peaceful coexistence and peacebuilding. As part of a series of activities aimed at promoting dialogue and enhancing social cohesion, a football tournament in which eight football teams from El-Geneina city competed against each other was held last month.
The tournament aimed to support the reconciliation agreements reached in 2022, to re-build trust, to restore inter-community relations and, also, to strengthen the skills of youth-led civil society organizations working on peacebuilding.
The teams that participated in the tournament were Um Duwain, Al-Jabal, Ardamata, Durti, IDP gathering site (A), IDP gathering site (B), North El Geneina and South El Geneina. In a thrilling final match, the Ardamat team won the championship against the team Durti by 3 to nil.
