On the heels of their sponsorship of the sixth annual KFC Goodwill International Schools’ Football Competition, fast-food giant KFC will be investing in other aspects of the tournament’s hosting.
During Wednesday evening’s launch of the 2025 edition of the tournament – which is set to feature teams from Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Brazil, the Bahamas, and Suriname from December 14 to 21 – KFC Guyana CEO Paul Subryan announced that the company will be heavily investing in bleachers for the tournament’s primary venue, the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground.

Subryan disclosed, “So, this sponsorship is our way of saying we do care; we care about our country’s youth, we care about our country’s development and to this end, this year, we further invested more than $25M in bleachers for the venue.”
KFC’s major investment in the tournament likely stems from their belief in the competition’s significance, which Subryan also emphasised.
He stated during the event’s launch, “You guys inspire the next generation of champions and at KFC, we do understand the importance of support generation next and by giving back to communities because they have given us so much and hence, this partnership for our 6th consecutive year. And as sponsors, we believe this tournament is bigger than football, it is about discipline, teamwork, it is about building communities and fostering family relationships. Those very values fuels our culture at KFC Guyana.”
Work is expected to begin soon at the MoE Ground in preparation for the installation of the bleachers, along with other small enhancement projects that will transform the venue to meet the tournament’s international requirements.
