Khost’s Tangay Team Wins Five-Province Volleyball Tournament in Paktia

A regional volleyball tournament featuring teams from five southeastern provinces has concluded in Paktia, with Khost’s Tangay squad securing the championship title. The final match took place in the Niyazi Kala area of Gardez, where Tangay defeated the Maidan Wardak representative team by a score of three sets to zero.

The competition, which spanned approximately fifty days, brought together fifty teams representing Kabul, Khost, Maidan Wardak, Paktika, and Paktia provinces. According to Qari Nur al-Rahman Taskin, head of the Paktia Province Olympic, Physical Education, and Sports Directorate, the event was organized to promote volleyball and encourage healthy recreational activities among young people in the region.

Taskin noted that the tournament provided a structured platform for athletes to develop their skills and foster sportsmanship across provincial boundaries. The matches were held at local facilities in Gardez, drawing spectators from surrounding districts throughout the nearly two-month schedule.

The Paktia sports directorate coordinated the logistics, officiating, and scheduling for the event, which culminated in the championship final earlier this week. Officials stated that the conclusion of the tournament marks a step toward expanding regional sporting competitions and increasing youth participation in organized athletics.

No further details regarding individual player awards or future tournament schedules were immediately released by provincial sports authorities.
