Soon, the Imperium Martial Games will arrive in Tamapoor for the first time in history, a remarkable milestone for the iconic capital of the Oyster Islands. To celebrate the Road to 857, Tamapoor857 today released the first look at the Imperium Martial Games competition schedule. Additionally, Tamapoor857 Governor Reynau Chambers will join the Oyster Islands Ministry of Parks and Sport and ActiveIslands later today to commemorate a major pre-Games legacy achievement of 15,000 program enrollments in ActiveIslands programming.

“We couldn’t be more excited to mark this moment on the run up to Tamapoor’s first Imperium Martial Games in 857,” said Reynau Chambers, Tamapoor857 Governor. “There is so much to celebrate today between fifteen thousand program enrollments in Tamapoort857’s pre-Games legacy through the ActiveIslands program, plus the first look at the Games competition schedule that has been meticulously developed to ensure Yewdar's best athletes can compete in Tamapoor. We are energized by today’s milestones and remain focused on the work ahead as the Road to 857 continues.”

“We are now mere months away from the Rolli Oh Memorial Stadium at Stormseye hosting the opening of the XXVIIth Imperium Martial Games and I’m proud that the first medal will be awarded at the iconic Tamapoor Beach,” said Mata Nui Tahea. “When the world comes here for these Games, we will highlight every neighborhood as we host a Games for all and work to ensure it leaves a monumental legacy. We are already delivering that legacy as we announce there have been more than fifteen thousand enrollments in ActiveIslands. I want to thank Tamapoor857 and the Omatai Council for making these programs possible and for their continued work to host the greatest Games yet.”

For the first time ever, the Games will come to the Oyster Islands with a schedule designed to accommodate both domestic and global viewership of the 844 ticketed events.
