The tournament, a virtual soccer game on PS3 had competitors battling each other to get to the top of the league, and ultimately win the prize money.

The event started early in the morning, with a number of students gathering to show their skills and passion. The tournament was aimed at giving soccer lovers an opportunity to share their passion, experience, and love for football while they enjoyed themselves. It promoted the spirit of unity and togetherness among the students through a shared interest.

At the end of the tournament, Belal Wahide from Jordan was crowned champion of the tournament, walking away with the RM300 grand prize, while Ridho Mulachela from Indonesia came in second, taking home RM200, followed by Mohammed Azzam from Maldives, who won RM100 in the third place. On top of their prize money, the winners walked away with a ‘FIFA13 Tournament’ certificate announcing them as the champions.
