Elite League VII champions, Slingerz Football Club, receive $2M prize money

A week after the conclusion of Guyana’s Elite League 2025 season, the Slingerz Football Club (FC) champions have collected their winnings during a presentation ceremony hosted by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF).
The event, held at the National Training Centre (NTC) in Providence, saw the GFF distribute a total of GY$4,925,000 in club prize money and individual awards to the top-performing teams and players from the Elite League Season VII.
In a positive step for Guyanese football, the timely pay-out represents a departure from previous seasons, ensuring that clubs have access to crucial financial support for immediate planning and preparation ahead of the next campaign.
The GFF General Secretary, Pushpargha Chattopadhyay, commended the winning team on an exceptional season in which they went unbeaten throughout their campaign.

Slingerz capped off their dominance with a 0-0 draw against the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) in late October, completing an undefeated record of 16 wins and two draws. The champions had already secured the title with two matches remaining.
Their outstanding performance across the 90-match season earned them the top prize of $2 million and automatic qualification for the CONCACAF Caribbean Club Shield.
The Elite League was dubbed the nation’s premier professional football tournament.

However, during the presentation ceremony, Slingerz FC walked away with $2 million as the first-place winners, followed by the Guyana Police Force (GPF) FC, which bagged $1.2 million, and the Guyana Defence Force (GDF), which carted off $800,000. The fourth-spot winners, Western Tigers FC, went away with $500,000.
Meanwhile, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) prize of $150,000 went to Darron Niles from Slingerz FC; the top goal scorer prize of $100,000 went to Neron Barrow from the Guyana Police Force FC, while the best goalkeeper prize of $100,000 went to Akel Clarke from Slingerz FC, and the Best Young Player prize of $75,000 went to Malcolm Hendrick from Santos FC.
