MVP Sports is staying true to its ‘Corporate Sponsor of the Year (Small)’ National Sports Commission (NSC) Award, as they will now be a staple supporter of all Petra Organization tournaments this year.
The company, during the latter half of 2022, had supported several school tournaments, and even took the lead on the Organization’s Futsal tournament in December.
Now MVP Sports has committed to year-long sponsorship, which would encompass almost 10 tournaments at both the school and senior levels, starting with the Milo U18 tournament this weekend.
The announcement was made at a press conference on Wednesday afternoon at the Brandsville Hotel in Campbellville, Georgetown.

Public Relations Officer Selvin Apple expressed the company’s elation at being a part of such a massive collaboration, highlighting that it is the company’s corporate social responsibility.
“On the behalf of MVP Sports, we are happy to be a part of the Milo competition, and part sponsorship of the Petra Organization as well, in sponsoring these series of football tournaments like Mr. Troy would have said, for the remainder of 2023,” Apple told media operatives on Wednesday afternoon.
“Also, we, as a corporate organization, recognize the importance of playing a corporate social role in the developing of sports in the country,” Apple added.
It was later announced that MVP Sports would be the title sponsor of the Girls’ Under 11 Pee-Wee football tournament.
On that note, Petra Co- Director Troy Mendonca articulated his gratitude to the company, reflecting on the trust that the company has placed in the organization.
Mendonca stated, “First of all, it reflects the trust that they place in us. I can say that the leadership of Petra, we fight very hard to present our programmes because we understand where we’re at and where we want to go in terms of what we do for the sport. And I think that they would’ve recognized that also, and I’m very proud to know that a company would’ve shown that kind of confidence and trust in us to give that commitment at this time of the year, which is at the beginning of the year,” the Petra Co-Director related.
“So, on behalf of Petra, a massive ‘thank you’ to MVP Sports,” Mendonca added.
The Milo tournament will commence this Saturday, March 4, with an opening ceremony and four games on the cards. (Jemima Holmes)
