It has been a busy week for the organisers of the KFC Goodwill International Schools’ Football tournament, as they were part and parcel of another sponsorship presentation on Thursday morning.
This time around, it was distribution giant Ansa McAl on the giving end, supporting the upcoming competition under their Lucozade brand. During the simple presentation at their Beterverwagting, East Coast Demerara (ECD) head office, Lucozade Brand Manager Christina Beepat highlighted that the company was happy to be on board with the tournament and be able to fuel the athletes with clean, long-lasting energy.
“Lucozade is happy to be a sponsor of this tournament. We’re committed to sports, fuelling athletes with clean, long-lasting energy which supports both brain and muscle function, which is exactly what these players need for this event,” Beepat expressed.
On the other hand, Petra Organisation Co-Director Troy Mendonca spoke to their partnership with the corporate entity, as he extended his gratitude.
Mendonca noted, “Today marks a very significant day in the relationship we would’ve established over the years with Ansa McAl, specifically as it relates to this tournament. They’re one of the companies that supported this event from the inception, and it speaks volumes for the relationship we would’ve established.”
“We want to say a big thank you, again, to Ansa McAl,” he went on to add.
At the event, it was also confirmed that the Suriname Technical School in Nickerie will be representing the neighbouring nation at the KFC competition. They join defending champions Chase’s Academic Foundation, Guyana’s qualifiers West Ruimveldt Secondary and Annai Secondary, Trinidad and Tobago’s St Benedict’s College, Jamaica’s Kingston College, the Bahamas’ Anglican Central Education Authority (ACEA) Select and Jose Vieira de Sales Guerra School of Roraima State, Brazil.
