CRDB Bank has officially launched the sixth edition of the Supa Cup, a sporting competition that brings together employees from Tanzania, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to compete in football and netball, with the aim of strengthening unity, solidarity and employee well-being.
The launch ceremony was held at the John Merlini Grounds in Dodoma and was attended by Chamwino District Commissioner Janeth Mayanja, who was the guest of honour, alongside CRDB Bank executives, including Director of Human Resources Godfrey Rutasingwa and Director of Banking Operations Admin Mwansasu, who also chairs the Supa Cup organising committee.
Speaking at the event, Mayanja emphasised the importance of sports in promoting good health, discipline and solidarity among employees.
She urged participants to use the competition as an opportunity to strengthen cooperation, mutual respect and disciplined competition, while acknowledging CRDB Bank's contribution to promoting employee welfare.
The Supa Cup is part of CRDB Bank's broader efforts to enhance employee well-being by providing opportunities to participate in sporting activities that promote good health, strengthen relationships and encourage teamwork.
Through football and netball competitions, employees have an opportunity to showcase their talents and abilities in an environment that promotes enjoyment, unity and a competitive spirit.
Commenting on the importance of the competition, CRDB Bank Director of Human Resources Godfrey Rutasingwa said the bank continued to recognise its employees as a key pillar of its success, making investment in their well-being an essential part of creating a better working environment and improving efficiency.
He added that sporting events such as the Supa Cup provide an opportunity to strengthen relationships, boost morale and foster a culture of teamwork.
Meanwhile, CRDB Bank Director of Banking Operations and Supa Cup organising committee chairman Admin Mwansasu said the competition continued to serve as an important platform for bringing together bank employees across the three countries.
He emphasised the need for participants to demonstrate discipline, respect their opponents and maintain unity, stressing that these values were essential in achieving collective success.
Through the participation of employees from Tanzania, Burundi and the DRC, the Supa Cup continues to strengthen professional and social relationships among CRDB Bank staff across the three markets.
The competition demonstrates that despite differences in workplace locations and nationalities, employees are united by a common commitment to building an institution founded on solidarity, cooperation and shared success.
The sixth edition of the Supa Cup is expected to provide more competitive action, nurture sporting talent and strengthen relationships among employees, while advancing CRDB Bank's commitment to building an institution that values its people, their health and their contribution to the bank's success.
