The Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Futsal Football tournament will make a return to Berbice with matches slated for tonight at the New Amsterdam Stelling tarmac. This is according to Banks DIH Public Relations Officer Troy Peters, in speaking to this publication on Thursday.
He said 26 teams have registered, but only 16 will make it through to the group stages, after being engaged in the play-off rounds on Thursday night.
Berbicians are expected to be thrilled by some exciting games played over the next three days at the New Amsterdam Stelling tarmac
Having completed legs in Georgetown and West Demerara/East Bank Zone, the exciting tournament is expected to be featured on the East Coast of Demerara, and Linden after this zone. The Bartica Zone is still in the pipeline, the PRO explained, since, on previous occasions, the organizing body would coordinate the stated teams that play in the National Championships.
The teams will be vying for a first place prize of $400,000 while second to fourth place teams would receive $150,000, $100,000 and $75000 respectively.
The tournament will continue on Saturday, and the grand finals are slated for Sunday.
