The sporting landscape in Las Tunas during 2025 presented a characteristic duality, combining the disappointment of collective results in high-level events with flashes of individual talent that keep hope alive.

Las Tunas, Cuba.- Baseball continued to dominate the headlines, although Las Tunas sports as a whole showed their usual dynamism and ability to compete on multiple fronts, with athletes and teams continuing to make provincial history in other disciplines and venues.

Competitive activity remained intense, highlighting both the strengths of the training bases and the dedication of the athletes who, beyond specific results, defend the colors of the territory with regularity and passion. The final balance of 2025, therefore, is that of a learning cycle, where frustration over failures is part of a broader and more constant effort that continues to be a source of local pride.
