Tanzania is among five East African Community countries that would participate in the coming Federation of East Africa Secondary Schools Sports Association (FEASSSA) tournament to be held in Kenya at the end of this month.

National Sports Council (NSC) Chairman Idd Kipingu said in Dar es Salaam last week that participating schools would sponsor their teams.

"We are now in the final stages of preparation for the games. All modalities would be ready soon,’’ Kipingu told the Daily News. He mentioned the games that would feature in the tournament as handball, and basketball for both boys and girls. Rugby would involve boys only.

Kipingu, who is also FEASSSA vice-president (Tanzania) said the games were hosted by Tanzania last year in which Kenya emerged overall winners. FEASSA member countries are Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya and Burundi. All countries have confirmed their participation in the games.
