Sports Carnival

Held annually, the UTAR Sports Carnival was organised by the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) throughout the month of July 2017 at different sports facilities, with the purpose of promoting the goodwill and understanding between UTAR students, staff and alumni. It was also aimed to encourage the members of UTAR community to participate in sporting and physical recreational activities.

A total of nine games were played in the carnival including futsal, badminton, table tennis, volleyball, basketball, tug-of-war, soccer, netball, and bowling. Attended by approximately 400 participants, the carnival successfully brought together the staff and students who represented their respective departments and faculties in various sports events in the spirit of sportsmanship.

The Competition was divided into three parts, where Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) and Faculty of Accountancy and Management (FAM) were grouped as one team; Lee Kong Chian Faculty of Engineering and Science (LKC FES) was grouped as the second team; Faculty of Creative Industries (FCI), Centre for Foundation Studies (CFS) and Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS) were grouped as the third team. This year, LKC FES was the overall champion.

Apart from that, the sports carnival was also held to select the UTAR Sports Team in order to represent the University for any upcoming external sports events such as MASISWA Games, external invitations, Sports Exchange Programme and Clash of the UTARians.
