Mr. Jalloh explained that the primary objective of the tournament is to help participating counties prepare for the 2026 National County Sports Meet, which is scheduled for November.
According to the organizers, all participating teams are expected to arrive on July 23, with the tournament officially kicking off on July 24. The grand finale is scheduled for July 25.
Up to press time, organizers had not disclosed the cash prizes for the first, second, and third-place winners or the individual awards, citing the absence of a major sponsor.
