In his inaugural speech, Theyiekielie Tacü, Senior Vice President of Central COB and Kohima Division In-charge, reminded the gathering that futsal is a team sport played with obedience and unity, without which teams cannot win. He remarked that similarly, party workers must work hard or the party will fail.
Tacü also spoke on the importance of the upcoming 2028 election, stating that it is very important for the youth, as veteran politicians have started retiring and young leaders will soon take over.
He reminded the youth to choose upcoming leaders wisely and urged his fellow party workers to remain patient and continue working hard to achieve greater milestones.
The closing ceremony of the tournament will be held on October 3 from 7 pm onwards.
