Overall, CFS IIUM as the host, stayed in pride of victory for winning over the rest of other higher Islamic institutions.  The closing ceremony was taken place at Al-Malik Faisal Hall, CFS IIUM. The sounds of cheerful voice echoed within the hall and truly can be heard from the Pesta Sukan IPTIM Operating Room, as CFS IIUM was announced as the overall CHAMPION for Pesta Sukan IPTIM 2011. Congratulations CFS IIUM!!

What can we review thoroughly from the event are,

1.       All the contingents are undeniably work hard verily for their pride of winning the sport festival. Not to forget, the supporters and spectators are also played an enhancing role to merry the event.

2.       In the name of Islamic institutions, the contingents are obeying the rules of ikhtilat and limitations of awrah though some are not. There were incidents regarding these matters that should be highlighted for lesson and also should be aware by the next Pesta Sukan IPTIM organizer.

3.       The supporters should be more alert on the conditions of the players and the circumstances so that the incident of uttering bad words and non-benevolence attitude towards each other does not reflect to the holiness of Islam.

4.       The cheers from supporters are truly traditions in any games organized. This sparks the mood of sport in each and everyone. Nothing paid for that but victory.
