Sport and recreation

Sport is an important activity for young people, giving them opportunities to socialise and build friendships. AKO organises soccer tournaments twice a year, especially during the Karen New Year celebration and the wrist-tying ceremony, when many teams compete for the AKO Cup. Teams from other local communities take part as well as Karen teams.

Indoor volleyball, cane ball and small athletics events are also organised for major celebrations, and social events and outings are held from time to time to bring the community together.
