Nine exceptional teams are gearing up for an epic showdown for glory and cash prizes at the Aranaputa Sports Ground on December 23 and 24.
FC Basin, Piowamak FC, Strikers, Challengers, Surama/Wowetta, Toka, Three Hills, Spartans and Falcon football clubs are all in the running to become the inaugural champions of the Climb Guyana Cup. A random Open Draw on December 23 will decide which teams will face off against each other in the thrilling knockout first round. At the conclusion of the knockout round, group winners will advance to the quarter-finals, semi-finals and final round.
This two-day event promises to be exhilarating, and each match will be divided into two twenty-minute halves, resulting in a total playing time of forty minutes. This condensed format promises to deliver fast-paced, action-packed games, keeping the excitement levels high throughout the tournament.
Climb Guyana Founder Amanda Wilson-Falloon has said the tournament, a fusion of the company’s Christmas festivities and commemoration of its third anniversary, will showcase the exceptional skills and passion of the top teams in the North Rupununi.
“We have had another amazing year, collaborating once again with various villages across the Rupununi to promote local tourism through thrilling competitions. One standout event was the Republic Race, held in February in partnership with Rockstone Village, which left a lasting impression on both participants and spectators,” Wilson-Falloon shared.
“Building on this success, we decided to combine our Christmas and anniversary celebrations, creating a unique and unforgettable experience. As Climb Guyana reached its monumental third milestone in November, we are thrilled to return to the vibrant landscapes of the Rupununi, ready to showcase a captivating blend of talent and camaraderie with the highly anticipated launch of the Climb Guyana Cup,” she detailed.
In the opening ceremony, feature remarks will be made by Rupununi Football Association (RFA) President Norbert Williams, North Rupununi Football Association (NRFA) President John Abraham, Aranaputa Chairwoman Gillian Rodrigues, and Climb Guyana Region Nine Director Alphonso King.
