With five trophies clinched, Nations' athletes celebrate victories on courts and fields
From October to December, the courts and fields of the Liga Brasília tournament have played host to intense sports battles among student-athletes from schools in the Federal District. The tournament, gathering student-athletes from national and international schools in Brasília, featured matches in both soccer and basketball.
Nations were represented in both sports and in the categories of boys’ basketball under-15 and under-18, boys’ soccer under-15 and under-18, and girls’ soccer under-15 and under-18. Amidst dribbles, baskets, and unwavering determination, the Cougars left an indelible mark on the championship, securing a total of five titles, with three silvers and two golds.
