This year's event will draw 49 teams representing seven refugee sites: Mahama Camp, Nyabiheke Camp in Gatsibo, Mugombwa Camp in Gisagara, Kiziba Camp in Karongi, Nkamira Transit Centre in Rubavu, ETM Gashora in Bugesera, and the Urban City side from Kigali.

The week-long tournament will feature six disciplines: football, taekwondo, basketball, volleyball, sitting volleyball, and karate.

The Ministry in Charge of Emergency Management (MINEMA), in partnership with various organisations, is staging the games to promote talent, unity, and sportsmanship among refugees.

Mahama Camp will be looking to defend its dominance after a stellar performance in last year's edition, where it clinched the football title with a 1â€"0 victory over Kigeme and swept both the men's and women's basketball trophies.

Football is one of the most popular sports in the tournament.
Last year, Mahama Camp dominated the tournament.
