Muhammadiyah University of Purworejo (UMPWR) - In the spirit of sportsmanship and camaraderie, the Faculty and Staff Mini Soccer Team played a friendly match against the BRI Purworejo Branch Team on Wednesday evening, 8 October 2025, at the MGD Mini Soccer Field in Magelang. The match was filled with camaraderie, with a strong sense of family between the two institutions.
UMPWR Rector Assoc. Prof. Dr. Teguh Wibowo, M.Pd., who also joined the UMPWR team, emphasised that the match was not merely about winning, but rather an opportunity to strengthen ties and collaboration between the worlds of education and banking. “What matters most is not the final score, but how this sense of togetherness and spirit of cooperation can continue to thrive beyond the field,” he stated.
The match was exciting and entertaining. Both teams played enthusiastically, occasionally punctuated with laughter, creating a warm atmosphere throughout the game. Players from both sides showed great sportsmanship and mutual respect, both on and off the field.
In addition to being a sporting event, this activity also served as a refreshing break for UMPWR lecturers and staff after their academic and administrative routines. For BRI KC Purworejo, the match was a means of strengthening partnerships and expanding synergies with educational institutions.
The friendly match concluded with a friendly gathering and group photos, symbolising the spirit of camaraderie that is hoped to continue in the future. UMPWR is committed to continuing to develop similar positive activities that not only promote physical health but also strengthen inter-institutional relationships.
