ONE of Guyana’s oldest football clubs, Pele Football Club, yesterday received 22 pairs of Adidas cleats from Sankar Auto Works under its Valvoline brand, to aid the club’s participation in this year’s Kashif and Shanghai Football tournament which kicked off last night at the Demerara Cricket Club ground. This is the second time the entity (Sankar) has supported the club, having first done so in 2013 and according to the company’s Marketing Executive Dwayne Rodrigues, the sport can only move forward if corporate Guyana invests in clubs.

Rodrigues told the gathering of reporters at Sankar’s Seaforth Street, Campbellville location, that as a company, Sankar Auto Works is always pleased to give a lending hand in areas where it’s much needed, adding that Pele, being one of the foundation football clubs, has always shown professionalism and passion to the sport.
He added that Sankar will continue to support the club and wished them the best in the tournament and also asked that they remain a disciplined and committed team.
Marvin Goodman, one of Pele’s executive members thanked Sankar Auto Works for always showing the faith in the club and for not only sponsoring their footwear, but also being committed and believing in their players’ ability.
Pele will go into action tonight, when they clash with Grove Hi-Tech at the Victoria Community Centre ground in game one of the double-header which will see Fruta Conquerors and Mahaica Determinators collide in the feature game of the ‘win or go home’ formatted tournament.
