The government says it will start supporting pool table sports. Deputy Minister Hamis Mwinjuma made the pledge after watching the national championship finals in Dar es Salaam. He promised to help the men's and women's national teams get ready for major international events next year, mentioning Olympic-level competitions planned for South Africa. Mwinjuma told the Tanzania Pool Association to send him a list of their requirements soon.
A player named Abdallah Hussein from The Snipers Club won the singles title, beating Festo Yohana. His club also won the team championship. The association's chairman said the sport has relied on private sponsors since 2014, so getting official backing would be a huge change for them.
