The basketball team of Premier International IB Continuum School went to Serbia, Belgrade from the 20th to the 29th of September 2022 for a school-level basketball championship program hosted by the International Sports Federation (ISF) in order to build up new skills and learn different strategies. The team had a total of 11 members including grades 10, 11, and 12. 
The team represented Nepal and Premier International IB Continuum School; they played against Brazil, France, Hungary, and Chile. Similarly, the team represented the cultures of the school and Nepal on ‘nations’ night which was held on the last day of the event.
Alongside that, a cultural exchange program also took place, with more than 20 countries participating. The event provided the students with a chance to meet new people and learn about different cultures from all around the world.
The team put a lot of effort and dedication into their game, and as a result, they won the “Fair Play Award” which is also known to be one of the highest awards as it represents true sportsmanship and an honest game played by the students. This was a proud moment for Nepal and the school.
