On 9th July 2024, the 6th edition of SAI Football League (SFL) commenced with great enthusiasm, bringing together students from Classes IX-XII of both SAI International School and SAI International Residential School. The league, a much-anticipated event, reflects the institution's commitment to holistic education, emphasizing the importance of sports alongside academics.
SAI International's ethos is deeply rooted in the belief that extra-curricular activities play a crucial role in a student's early academic years. The SFL was conceptualized as part of this vision by the late Founder-Chairman, Dr. Bijaya Kumar Sahoo. His objective was to cultivate essential skills such as teamwork, leadership, patience, discipline, learning from failure, competitiveness, and sportsmanship within the students' learning curriculum.
The ongoing league has already seen students displaying remarkable sportsmanship and a 'never give up' spirit, embodying the values instilled by the school's holistic approach to education. At SAI, the aspiration is to nurture well-rounded individuals who excel in both sports and academics, preparing them for future challenges with resilience and determination.
