“The main aim of this event is to promote safe and supportive communities through sports. The event is designed to measure the level of sports development for communities within the Serua Namosi vicinity.”

“The event focuses mainly in bringing the Namosi and Serua Provinces together in one accord to build unity, peace and harmony within their respective communities.
“The atmosphere of the event is high as communities are all anticipating the event.
“This event is an inaugural event as it is the first time for the games to be conducted for both Serua and Namosi.
