THE STAG Elite League yesterday received another corporate boost when E-Networks Inc. came on board in what could be one of the most important facets of the country’s most lucrative football league. E-Networks Inc; Guyana’s premier Cable TV Internet VOIP and 4G Broadband Service Provider, presented the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) with a cheque for an undisclosed amount.
According to E-Networks, the support for the league is seen as the entity playing its part in helping the sport’s development in Guyana and more so, giving exposure to the game’s brightest stars.
Subscribers to E-Networks services will be able to watch ‘the game of the month’ as the GFF Marketing and Communication Director Rawle Toney explained: “It’s the intention of the GFF to ensure that the players, more than anything else, benefit from the league. Therefore, we must have these games broadcast somehow. It’s a costly factor but luckily for us, E-Networks was excited about this venture and will be undertaking the cost of the broadcast.”
“We’re starting with a ‘Game of the Month’ which will be shown on E-Networks Ch.1 and then on another local channel which is to be determined. I think over time, this deal will be one of the biggest,” Toney said.
The company explained that one of the biggest sellers for its service of Cable Television is sports, since (E-networks) is the distributor of ESPN in Guyana.
Meanwhile, with E-Networks set to embark on another ground-breaking initiative, the Stag Elite League will be used as a tool by the company to help market its new product, with fans and players alike, set to benefit extensively from the giveaways.
