The Guyana Industrial Minerals Inc (GINMIN) are the new sponsors on the block for the Milo Boys’ Under-18 schools’ football tournament, slated to kick off next weekend.
GINMIN joins Genequip, not only as secondary sponsors of the highly-anticipated schools’ football tournament, but the company will also share the responsibility of sponsoring playing kits for the tournament.
