Labuan Bajo — Lembunai Cup II ended on Sunday, 8 November 2026, after two weeks of student futsal competition at GOR Labuan Bajo, with 29 teams from junior- and senior-secondary schools taking part, according to POS-KUPANG.COM.

The tournament was initiated by Yovita Dewi Suriany, a member of the West Manggarai Regency Regional House of Representatives from the NasDem Party. Participants represented schools in Labuan Bajo and other areas of West Manggarai Regency.

Committee figures cited by POS-KUPANG.COM said the field consisted of 16 boys’ teams in the under-14 category from junior-secondary schools and 13 girls’ teams in the under-16 category from senior-secondary schools. The opening report further detailed six senior-secondary teams and 11 junior-secondary or equivalent teams.

Dewi said the competition was intended to support young athletes while strengthening discipline, sportsmanship and interaction between schools. She said players were expected to respect match schedules, accept results and maintain their motivation after defeat.

Why the tournament matters to readers

The event shows how Labuan Bajo’s student-sports calendar is being used to connect schools across West Manggarai while creating a local pathway for youth futsal development. Its scale also gives schools outside the city a place in a competition organised specifically for students.

The tournament’s next edition is planned for 2027, Dewi said. She hopes more schools will participate and send their strongest teams.
