ANSA McAL confirm inaugural Community Cup Championships

Jamal Baird, ANSA McAL’s Dragon Stout Brand Manager, has officially confirmed that the inaugural ‘Community Cup’ Championships will be undertaken by that company, and there are only a few systems and structures left to be finalized in this regard.
The former football player and current sporting enthusiast made this revelation via an official press release, wherein he declared that the four-day elimination tournament is slated to commence on November 15th at the National Gymnasium.
Sixteen teams from various environs will compete for over $500,000 in prizes. The grand finale is pencilled for December 6th.
Among the teams that are expected to feature in these maiden championships are Sparta Boss, Gold is Money, Leopold Street, Bent Street, Tiger Bay, Albouystown, Melanie-B, Showstoppers, North East La Penitence and Back Circle.
A product of the Fruta Conquerors Academy in Tucville, Baird explained that the overall objective of the tournament is to align the emerging brand with the respected and renowned grassroots movement.
“ANSA McAL is pleased to be associated with yet another sporting event, specifically football at the grassroots level. Having been a former player (Georgetown Call-up) and a proud product of the ghetto (who) was given a chance, I am elated to stage the inaugural Community Cup under the (prestigious) Dragon Stout brand, which is being aligned and positioned to be a grassroots flag bearer,” he said.
He added: “The primary stimulus for staging this football event is to highlight and indicate Dragon Stout’s intended support for sports at the grassroots and community levels, hence there was no hesitation, since it’s aligned with the brand’s vision, which is to engage in community-driven initiatives. This is an alliance or partnership that I envision will continue for the foreseeable future.”
Baird further affirmed, “Given that it is a community-based initiative, it gives the urban community a chance to be seen and heard while having fun in a competitive but friendly environment.”
