Sport boosts energy and gives our members better self-esteem. Sport has more than a positive effect on our physical health. It also has a positive effect on our mind and on the way we interact with others. Starting with the veterans’ and youth teams, the Congolese community of Hamilton and Area supports its members’ sports activities. The community currently has a soccer team that represents the Congolese Community of Hamilton and Area in official competitions. Recently, the Congolese community of Hamilton won the Hamilton African Cup of Nations for the second year in a row by defeating Somalia (DRC 3 – Somalia 1). Sports activities improve young people’s self-esteem, offer them protection and contribute to their physical and mental well-being. Sport helps young people become aware of their abilities and gain confidence.
