With these matches, being played at the National Park tarmac, always delivering riveting action, the Magnum Independence Cup futsal tournament is easily the most talked about tournament in Guyana, and it has now gained support from MVP Sports in the form of sponsorship.
A statement from Ian Ramdeo, CEO of MVP Sports, has said, “MVP Sports is a proud Guyanese brand that continues to support local sport activities and local athletes from various disciplines. We are happy to be part of one of the biggest grassroots football events in the country, to show our support for the communities that the teams represent. MVP Sports is the leading sports apparel and gear store in the country, and we are partnering with this event because we see it as one of the leading grassroots sports events.”

Tournament Organiser Edison Jefford is extremely appreciative of MVP Sports coming on board this event, as the company has supported many of his events. “Mr. Ramdeo and MVP Sports has always been supportive of my sport programmes and projects, none of which would have been possible without his financial backing. I cannot thank the company enough for their continued confidence in me and the level of administration that engineers their corporate support. This means a lot to these teams, and by extension their communities, when they see big companies giving back in these ways” Jefford shared.
