BK Security, through its Managing Director, Travis Shepherd, is the latest entity to join forces with the ExxonMobil Guyana Futsal Championship.

The company, over the last week, presented a sponsorship package to support the ongoing tournament.

The contribution comes as teams prepare for the highly-anticipated semifinal round, which kicks off tonight at the Retrieve Tarmac in Linden.

Tournament coordinator, Andrew Major of New Era Entertainment, expressed deep appreciation for the sponsorship, noting that the support will go a long way in ensuring the smooth continuation of the event.

Major further explained that hosting a large and competitive futsal championship requires significant resources, and the assistance from BK Security helps to ease many of the financial pressures associated with organising the semifinal and final stages.

Meanwhile, Shepherd said the decision to support the tournament was part of BK Security’s ongoing commitment to community development.

He further noted that sports play an important role in youth engagement, discipline, and social unity, and the company is proud to contribute to those positive outcomes.

The winner of the event will pocket $1,500,000, while the eventual second, third, and fourth place finishers will receive $750,000, $350,000, and $200,000, respectively, and the corresponding accolade.

On the individual level, the eventual Most Valuable Player will ride away with a motorcycle. It was also disclosed that a $300,000 economic grant will be awarded to a player or fan to aid their academic development. Each team must put forward a candidate for the aforesaid scholarship.
