Sports tournament
The Faisal Cup
ISKL hosts the annual Faisal cup in which refugee schools around the city join together in a football tournament. Parents, as well as students from international schools volunteer to coach, chaperone, referee and provide food and drinks for the whole tournament. The Faisal was named after a refugee who tragically drowned as he tried to rescue a football kicked into the Gombak river. Since then, refugee schools in Kuala Lumpur have taken part in the football tournament. The entire project is a fundraiser for the schools and is held on the International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL) campus.
