Four players from Arusha Gymkhana Club have been selected for Tanzania’s six-member squad for the African Junior Teams’ Competition for players aged 12 and under, which begins in Egypt on Monday, November 16, 2026.
Janeth Massawe, Faraja Mbise and Hyness Mfinanga, all from the Arusha Gymkhana Club Youth Development Programme (AGCYDP), make up the girls’ team.
The boys’ team comprises the club’s Benard Singoyan and Dar es Salaam players Daniel Kelian and Eagan Dzidzornu.
The players secured their places following strong performances in regional competitions.
Arusha Gymkhana Club Tennis Section leader Nicolaus Leringa said the selection reflected the programme’s continued contribution to developing young tennis players.
“The AGCYDP has once again proven to be a highly successful youth development programme and continues to deliver on its mission, developing top-tier young athletes year after year,” he said.
The competition will give the Tanzanian players an opportunity to gain international experience and test their skills against other young players on the continent.
The national junior team has been in training at the Arusha Gymkhana Club. The team is expected to leave for Cairo today.
