The Pakistan Army and Frontier Corps South organized the festival with the intention of encouraging sports and physical activity among the young people from the tribal areas.
The sports extravaganza will run until October 26 and include a number of events that will highlight the talent and zeal of the young people in the area. A total of 136 football, 97 volleyball, and 136 cricket teams from the South Waziristan region will compete in different stages and categories during the festival.
Ten sites in the Lower and Upper South Waziristan districts—districts that have previously encountered major challenges—will host the tournaments.
The event aims to instill passion and excitement in young people by encouraging them to participate in athletics and intellectual pursuits.
