The competition will not only offer thrilling football matches but also provide a platform to raise awareness about human trafficking. As part of the Ministerial Task Force’s month-long activities in recognition of World Trafficking in Persons Month, the Counter-Trafficking in Persons Unit will be present with a booth to educate and sensitise the public on this crucial issue.

Among the teams competing for the coveted titles and significant prizes are Sophia Unstoppable, Plum Park Warriors, Sparta Boss, Progressive Warriors, E Field Dynamic Ballers, Tucville Terrace, Back Circle B, Sophia B, CPCE Eagles, Festival City, A Field Warriors, Street Vibe, Herstelling Raiders, North Ruimveldt, Policing, Canal #1, Bosco Boys, Fruta Conquerors and Show Stoppers.

The competition will culminate with the top team in each category taking home $100,000, while the runners-up will receive $60,000. This straight knockout format promises high-stakes excitement and fierce competition.
Tanisha Williams-Corbin, Coordinator of the Counter-Trafficking in Persons Unit, expressed her gratitude for Giftland’s support: “We are deeply thankful to Giftland for their generous contribution to the 592TIP Ball Competition.
