On Saturday, 10.05.25, the grounds of the German Embassy School Addis Ababa (DBSAA) were transformed into a lively meeting place full of sporting excellence and socializing. The student council had invited to a sports tournament to inaugurate the newly built basketball and beach volleyball court. Teams from the entire school family responded to the call.

What made the tournament special: Not only students were on the field, but also parents, teachers, administrative staff and even the security team formed their own teams and competed against each other in soccer, beach volleyball and basketball.

The annual SMV bazaar took place alongside the tournament and attracted numerous visitors. Everything from silver jewelry and plants to unique Ethiopian-inspired clothing was on offer. Delicious treats from various restaurants in Addis Ababa could also be found at this special event at the DBSAA.

The school’s hip-hop dance groups also performed their new choreographies during the lunch break and delighted the audience.

The combination of sporting commitment and creative togetherness made the event a complete success. The SMV proved once again how good organization and passion can strengthen the school community and at the same time create an all-round satisfying event.

We are already looking forward to the next great events at the DBSAA!
