Dear athletes,

Welcome to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and to IST!

ISSEA events are special in that they bring together our schools for competition and collegiality in a uniquely international arena. For us at International School of Tanganyika, it is a special honour to be hosts and we wish to thank all those involved in the organization of this wonderful chance to meet on the court. We are particularly proud to be able to host ISSEA Basketball this year as it is a first for our new Athletics Center!

Over the next few days, you will meet and compete alongside fellow students from 8 schools, including AISJ, AISL, AISM, HIS, ICS, ISK, ISU, and from here, at IST.

Congratulations to all of our players, coaches and supporters who have made it this far: being able to represent your school at an international event is a tremendous accomplishment.

Thank you also to all the IST team for your tireless effort and the long hours in preparing for this tournament.

And finally, to all our student athletes: your participation this weekend is a marvelous opportunity. Take advantage of your time with us and the memories will remain long after the final buzzer.

Now let's play some basketball!

On behalf of the Twiga Nation, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Dar Es Salaam for the upcoming ISSEA Basketball Tournament 2023-24!

We are thrilled to have you join us for a weekend filled with healthy competition, camaraderie, and what will undoubtedly be some unforgettable moments on the court.

One of the most rewarding parts of being able to host events like this is to see friends from different schools reconnect and for all of you to have the opportunity to make new ones.

Best of luck to everyone and let us know how we can make your visit as comfortable as possible.

Karibu!
