MVP Sports has partnered for the first Annual Upper Mazaruni U18 football tournament set to begin on June 16, 2024.
The company on Wednesday handed over its sponsorship package for the tournament at their Giftland Store location.
Tournament Coordinator, Niel Henrito, was on hand to receive the sponsorship package at the store’s Giftland Mall location at Liliendaal, Greater Georgetown.
He told the media, “I am grateful for MVP’s sponsorship. I am really happy because it will go a far way in developing football, especially among the youths in the Upper Mazaruni.”
On the other hand, Selwyn Apple, a representative from MVP, reaffirmed the entity’s intention of supporting sports in the country.
“We are always pleased to support any form of sports, especially football. We will always continue to pledge our support for the overall development of sports in the country.”
Paruima are the defending male champions and will be back to fend off the challenges of Waramadong, Kamarang, Kako, Jawalla and Phillipai.
While the inaugural edition of the tournament was played among male teams only, this year there will be both male and female teams from the various villages vying for top honours from June 16.
