ExxonMobil Football Cup promises to be bigger this year

ExxonMobil Guyana Limited is again partnering with the Bartica Regatta Committee to promote football activities of the annual Bartica Easter Regatta.
This year’s tournament, dubbed “The ExxonMobil Football Cup”, promises to be bigger than ever, owing to increased financial input and the projected participation of ten male teams and two female teams.
In handing over sponsorship cheque for $2.9 million to the Regatta Committee, Ryan Hoppie of ExxonMobil Guyana reiterated the company’s firm commitment to supporting sport and other programmes that benefit the citizens of Guyana, and disclosed that as testimony to that commitment, the company has increased its investment in this year’s Regatta Football tournament.
Receiving the sponsorship on behalf of the Regatta Committee, Chairman Kenneth Williams committed to providing high-calibre competition among the eight home teams and two visiting teams, while expressing gratitude to ExxonMobil Guyana and saying that a grateful region looks forward to a long-lasting partnership in sport with the company.
The ExxonMobil Football Cup will be played at the Bartica Community Centre Ground from March 23 to 30, and will comprise knockout matches among eight Bartica clubs, one team from the Middle Mazaruni and one team from Eteringbang, on the Cuyuni River.
Bartica’s most prominent female footballers will be in action on the final night of the tournament, with Potaro Strikers taking on Rivers View in a much-anticipated match-up that would provide excitement for adoring fans, since the Potaro Women are participating in the Guyana Football Federation Women’s First Division League.
Cash prizes, trophies, and other incentives will be up for grabs in all categories.
