Mosvold Sixes Returns October 4, Teams to Compete for Mosvold Martinus Foundation Challenge Trophy

Mosvold Sri Lanka, whose portfolio includes Mosvold Villa Ahangama and Sundara by Mosvold Balapitiya, will stage the second edition of the Mosvold Sixes in partnership with the Mosvold Martinus Foundation on Sunday, 4th October 2026, at the Colombo Malay Cricket Club. The six a side softball cricket tournament brings together twenty destination management companies from across the travel trade for a day of competition, networking and celebration ahead of the industry's busiest months.

Play runs from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM, with food and beer available throughout the day. Once the final match is done, the tournament moves into an evening of live music and an after party for players and guests.

Now in its second year, the Mosvold Sixes began as a way to bring the travel trade together as a season opener, a chance for agents, suppliers and partners to network, play cricket and unwind before the season ahead gets busy. Mosvold Sri Lanka says the longer term goal is to widen the tournament to foreign agents, giving international partners a firsthand look at how the local trade works, plays and welcomes visitors.

The tournament trophy, the Mosvold Martinus Foundation Challenge Trophy, is named after the Foundation by design. Giving back sits at the centre of the event, and the Foundation's work spans education, women and community upliftment.

Twenty DMCs have confirmed for this year's tournament: Tangerine Tours, Sri Lanka Tailormade, Olanka Travels, Antiquity Sri Lanka, Travel Trends Leisure, House of Travels & Tourism, NKAR Travels & Tours, Jetwing Travels, Walkers Tours, Connaissance de Ceylan, Delux Holidays, Ceylon Roots, Spiceland Holidays, Infinity Vacations, Tropiculture, Serene Travels, Authenticities, Red Apple Travel & Holidays Lanka, DTH Travel Lanka and Ceylon Tours.

"The Mosvold Sixes is our way of opening the season the way we like to work, together. It brings the whole travel trade onto one ground to play hard, laugh harder and remember why we do this in the first place. Naming the trophy after the Mosvold Martinus Foundation keeps that spirit honest, because for us success only counts when it is shared, whether that is investing in education, empowering women or lifting up the communities around us. We are already looking forward to the day our foreign travel partners can stand on this ground with us too." Nilanka Martinus, Co-Founder & Managing Director, Mosvold Sri Lanka.

Connaissance de Ceylan enters as the defending champions, having won the inaugural tournament last year.
