Muse Sports Bar throws support behind Mash Street Football Championships
Popular sports bar and lounge, The Muse Hookah Bar has thrown its support behind the upcoming Mashramani Street Football Championships scheduled for Sunday, February 18 at the National Park.
In handing over the company’s sponsorship, supervisor at the Mandela Avenue outlet, Kevin Evans said that the proprietor of the entity, Jamal Scott was an avid sports enthusiast and could not resist the opportunity to provide support to the event.
“Mr Scott went to school with [Edison] Jefford and they were both sportsmen. I think that’s where their relationship developed and today as entrepreneurs, I am happy to see them still collaborating. I believe they worked together as Sports Journalists at one time as well,” Evans said in a brief comment.
He added that a large number of individuals from the football community support the sports bar and it was a great opportunity for it to give back. The Mashramani Street Football Championships are in their sixth year and are the brain child of experienced sports organiser Edison Jefford.
One of the members of the Organising Committee, Khashana Yhap received the sponsorship and took the opportunity to thank Muse for its continued support. Yhap indicated that corporate support was necessary for the success of such events.

The winner pockets $500,000 while second place receive $250,000; third place, $150,000 and fourth place, $100,000 respectively. The Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament will also be rewarded.
