The Final of the Zhongar Monsoon Departmental Football Tournament – Season II was held at the Mongar Public Ground on 12 September 2026, drawing hundreds of enthusiastic spectators from across Mongar and neighboring communities.
The grand finale was graced by the presence of Dasho Dzongdag as the Guest of Honour, Dasho Dzongrab, MS ERRH, along with other esteemed guests and dignitaries. A total of 21 teams representing various departments and agencies under Mongar Dzongkhag participated in this year’s tournament, which commenced on 25 July 2026 and continued for almost six weeks. To provide equal opportunities for football enthusiasts across the community to witness the matches, the tournament was conducted at two venues: Gyalpoizhing Astro Turf and Mongar Public Ground. This approach not only expanded community participation but also helped bring the excitement of the tournament closer to different sections of the community.
The tournament was organized with the objectives of commemorating the enduring legacy of our great forefathers, fostering camaraderie and friendship among participants, promoting healthy lifestyles and raising awareness on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), strengthening community spirit, and contributing to the stimulation of the local economy.
The much-anticipated championship match featured Business FT against Gyalsung Infra Academy FT. Business FT took an early lead in the first half by scoring a goal, while Gyalsung Infra Academy FT fought hard to level the score but were unable to find the equalizer. Business FT returned strongly in the second half, displaying impressive attacking football and adding four more goals before the final whistle. The match concluded with a convincing 5–0 victory in favor of Business FT, securing their place as the Champions of the Zhongar Monsoon Departmental Football Tournament – Season II.
Adding further vibrancy to the grand occasion, students of Mongar Higher Secondary School (MHSS) showcased their talent through an exceptional modern dance performance during the opening and half-time break. Their energetic performance added colour and entertainment to the event and was warmly appreciated by the spectators.
On behalf of the Mongar Sports Association, heartfelt appreciation and gratitude are extended to all participating teams for their remarkable physical and mental commitment, sportsmanship, and dedication throughout the tournament.
