“The pandemic has changed a lot of things in terms of public gathering, participation and most importantly the hygienic part of hosting a tournament so those relevant documents were submitted last night and once we get certified by the National Sports Commission, then we’re in a good position to organize tournaments.”     

Gukisuva says people are their biggest asset and ensuring that a safe environment is provided for players, officials and spectators during tournaments is paramount.
