Jacobs views event as a way to give back

Bragging Rights 5-a-side Football…
It all goes down as one of the biggest football tournaments to grace the Marriott Beachfront under the theme “Bragging Rights 5-a-side Football” with a cash prize of $500,000 up for grabs, the tournament is set to commence on October 19 at 18:00h.
The tournament is being hosted by one of Guyana’s most popular promoters, Marlon Jacobs aka “Freedom Boss”.
Speaking with Guyana Times Sport, Jacobs, the mastermind of the event, said, “I am a fan of football; I usually go to a lot of street events that they have football, so I decided that since I’m a promoter, I would use my platform and venture out into sports and give back to the community, that is how I came up with “Bragging Rights: three days, three nights of intense fun”.
Jacobs went on to state that the aim of the tournament was to reach out to youths in vulnerable communities who are very talented and involved in sports as most of them are talented and already have a fan base thus providing the opportunity for their fans to come out and watch them.”
He added that 16 teams were already confirmed for the competition and they hailed from Linden, Berbice and Georgetown. Some of the teams included in the tournament are Leopold Street, Sparta Boss, Future Stars, Gold is Money, and Albouystown.
When asked about predictions, the promoter lightly stated in a humorous manner that he expected the best team to win, presuming that every team would come out and do their best to claim the spoils.
This event is being sponsored by ANSA McAL under its Stag Beer brand as the executive sponsor and the National Sports Commission (NSC).
