The logo of the Friendship Tournament 2026 reflects the essential values of this gathering: sport, fellowship and faith. Its vertical composition conveys balance, striving to improve and growth, while the rising shape of the symbol evokes a living flame, representing shared energy and the spirit that unites all participants.
Each colour has a meaning that reinforces the tournament’s values:
The rising shape of the symbol combines these three colours in a single flame, reflecting unity in diversity. It reminds us that, beyond competition, the Friendship Tournament is a place where faith is lived, effort is shared and friendship is celebrated.
