SA L’Avenue kicks in SIS Sports Festival 2026

On April 11 2026, our esteemed school football team, Sampoerna Academy L’Avenue, competed in the SIS Sports Festival, an event featuring friendly matches from football categories U8-U14, hosted by SIS South Jakarta. This festival included the likes of SA L’Avenue, SIS South Jakarta, AI Wildan School, and Porkeba Soccer School. 

Ever since its beginning, this fateful day was one filled with both thrilling events and challenges. After a long trek toward the venue, our cherished players had to warm up in the intense heat – some of them even describing it as a “burning sensation” for their feet. Nevertheless, our determined team pushed forward and prepared themselves for the exhilarating competition ahead.

After a gruelling and intense first match, the score ultimately ended 0-0. SA L’Avenue fought hard and showed their teamwork and abilities. And, although no goals were scored, this match served as a testament to not just their high-class defensive capabilities but also their cool composure under pressure. 

However, the following match brought even more excitement. Our team battered through the opposition’s defence and hammered in 2 goals, both of which were from 2 different players. This towering advantage was slightly levelled by the opponent’s response – demonstrating their physical ability. But by the end of the match, our players fiercely held on and earned their 2-1 victory.

Ultimately, it was the final match which proved to be the most arduous. The opposing team had remarkable ability – with their blistering speed and perfect crosses outclassing most. SA L’Avenue, despite struggling to keep up, fought valiantly. Our team’s indefatigable tenacity lasted till the very end, wherein the team lost narrowly 2-1.

Overall, the SIS Sports festival was an invaluable and entertaining experience from both our primary and secondary ballers. That day illustrated just how persistent and valiant the team was; through intense heat, pressure, and pace, SA L’Avenue stood strong. And even though not all matches ended in victory, the team learned important skills of sportsmanship and collaboration and, finally, the relentless motivation for future competitions.
