The Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism’s MNRT Sports Club has expressed confidence ahead of the 2026 May Day Games, pledging a strong and competitive performance at the national event set to take place in Njombe Region.
Speaking in Dodoma as the team departed for the tournament, the club’s chairperson, Mr Elia Mutalemwa, said the squad is well-prepared to face any opponent, backed by intensive training and solid preparations.
He said the team has undergone rigorous sessions in recent weeks, building both fitness and cohesion, factors he believes will translate into positive results on the field.
“We have prepared well, and the players are ready for the challenge. Our focus is to compete strongly and aim for victory in every match,” he said.
Mutalemwa also called on residents of Njombe to turn out in large numbers to support the team, noting that fan support plays a key role in motivating players.
He cited the enthusiastic backing witnessed in Singida during the 2025 edition as an example of how crowds can influence performance.
He further commended the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism for its continued support, saying the leadership’s commitment has boosted morale and strengthened the club’s preparations.
The annual games, held as part of celebrations to mark International Workers' Day, bring together sports teams from various ministries and public institutions across the country.
The 2026 edition in Njombe is expected to attract wide participation, highlighting both competition and unity among public sector institutions.
