THE Guyana Football Federation (GFF) and KFC Guyana have renewed their partnership which sees the fast-food company as the title sponsor for season Six of the Elite League.

The sponsorship deal is valued at $10 million dollars.

Season Six starts today, Sunday, February 25, at the National Training Centre, Providence, East Bank Demerara under newly installed FIFA-approved lights and on an upgraded pitch.

The kick-off match is a face off between the recently promoted Monedderlust FC and Slingerz FC at 6 p.m., with the main event at 9 p.m.; a fierce battle between Santos FC and the defending champions Guyana Defence Force FC.

GFF President Wayne Forde thanked KFC for its continued confidence in the federation’s vision for the advancement of club football, with the Elite League at the core.

“The federation thanks KFC for consistently believing in our mission to enhance local football, placing the Elite League at the forefront. Our collaboration started in 2019, and over the years, we have witnessed the undeniable impact of the league on our national team programme, notably the advancement of our Senior Men’s National Team to League ‘A’ in the CONCACAF region.”

Other teams competing in Season Six are Western Tigers, the Guyana Police Force, Fruta Conquerors, Den Amstel, Buxton United and Ann’s Grove.

Additionally, the Caribbean’s foremost sports broadcaster SportsMax will film the opening night and document developments in football here, with the KFC Elite League as the focal point.
