2025 NMSA Annual Awards Banquet
February 28, 2026
Hibiscus Hall | Crowne Plaza Resort Saipan

The Northern Mariana Islands sports community came together once again for a night of celebration, recognition, and inspiration at the 2025 NMSA Annual Awards Banquet. The evening honored the outstanding achievements of our athletes, coaches, administrators, and teams who made 2025 a remarkable year for sports in the CNMI.

Over the years, sports in our islands have continued to grow — with stronger competition, better development programs, and more opportunities for our youth to showcase their talents. From grassroots levels to elite competition, our athletes are raising the standard and proving that the Northern Mariana Islands belong on bigger stages.

With the Pacific Games in Tahiti just a couple of months away, the momentum has never been stronger. Events like these remind us why we train, why we sacrifice, and why we push ourselves beyond limits. To our young athletes: continue to work harder, train smarter, and stay disciplined. The world is watching, and it’s time to show everyone what the Northern Mariana Islands bring to the table. Your dedication today shapes the pride of our islands tomorrow.

We also proudly recognized the individuals and teams who stood out this year:
