Life’s like Soccer,   We Need GOALS!

Anabs’s goal is to foster sportsmanship, character development, and community through inclusive sports and cultural events. Our annual Merhaba Festival promotes mental health awareness and connects Eritrean-Canadian communities, celebrating diversity and offering support to newcomers, embodying our commitment to social and leadership development.

About Us

Anabs Eritrean Sports Club was founded in the 1990s by a group of Eritrean-Canadian sports enthusiasts in the National Capital Region, who saw the need to create a platform for community engagement, cultural celebration, and physical activity. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by the Eritrean diaspora, especially newcomers, the founders aimed to foster a sense of belonging and support through sports.

Our values include:

  • Community Cohesion: Building a strong, inclusive community where every member feels valued and supported, transcending linguistic, religious, and ethnic differences.
  • Sportsmanship and Development: Promoting the importance of fair play, teamwork, and personal growth both on and off the field.
  • Mental and Physical Well-being: Prioritizing the holistic health of our members, advocating for mental health awareness, and providing culturally appropriate resources and support.
