SAPNewsTL, Dili : Timor-Leste’s unique mascot, “Anoi and Ano,” represents the spirit of Timor-Leste as it welcomes foreign delegations.
Hello everyone! Do you know the mascots of the 12th CPLP 2025 Games? They’re not just beautiful figures, but they also truly represent the spirit of Timor-Leste!
Let’s meet them: Ano and Anoi!
From the Tetum Terik dialect, “Ano” (rape) and “Anoi” (girl) convey an important message for our Games:
- “Youth is our future! Ano and Anoi symbolize the new generation of Timor-Leste – those who will make a difference and lead our country to a bright future.” Their energy and joy are contagious! Quote from MJDAK Media, Dili, July 17, 2025
- “Equality on the Field and in Life! The presence of Ano (male) and Anoi (female) together reinforces our commitment to gender equality in sport and society as a whole. Sport is for everyone!”
- “Unique Culture and Hospitality! They are ambassadors of our rich and beautiful Timorese culture. Year after year, they welcome all athletes and visitors with open arms, demonstrating the spirit of hospitality of our people.”
- “Resilience and Determination. Just like the Timorese people, these mascots also demonstrate resilience and determination to overcome challenges and achieve goals. They are an inspiration for athletes not to give up!”
“Are you ready to celebrate the New Year and New Year? There’s nothing better than seeing them together on the playground!” Quote from MJDAK Media
