OBJECTIVE

Promote recreational activities for the comprehensive development of children and integration of communities in the surrounding areas.

DESCRIPTION

The Fuerabamba community participates in the Copa Perú football tournament through its Club Deportivo Mina Las Bambas football team. For this team to be competitive, we hire professional players from the region and engage young people from the Fuerabamba community and the Challhuahuacho district. The Copa Perú tournament helps develop new talent. Similarly, we organise the Copa Fuerabamba football tournament for the Fuerabamba community, where men and women participate. This competition is one of the activities organised to celebrate the anniversary of the community. We also have a Physical Education Department to train children in various sports, such as basketball, volleyball, football, gymnastics and athletics, and the Young Athletes Program for children between 8 and 14 years old, contributing to their comprehensive development.

We support and promote sports under the resettlement agreements. We also support school competitions in the Nueva Fuerabamba School, promoted by the Ministry of Education.
