Home Sports NEW GPC INC joins list of corporate partners for International Futsal Festival
As the final countdown begins to the start of the GFF-ExxonMobil International Futsal Festival, scheduled to take place at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall from December 27-31, the New GPC INC has come on board and has joined the list of partners in support of the inaugural tournament.
This commitment was made on Thursday last in the form of printing of invitations and tickets, as well as the donation of an undisclosed monetary contribution, which will go towards airline tickets for the international participating teams.
Ms. Elizabeth Ram, the company’s Marketing Assistant, presented the contribution on behalf of New GPC Inc, while Aubrey “Shanghai” Major, one of the tournament’s organisers, received on behalf of the GFF.
The festival will kick off with six matches to be played between 18:00hrs and 00:00hrs, with each match being played on the hour, culminating with the final match at 23:00hrs.
The teams, which include Morvant Caledonia United from Trinidad and Tobago, ZV All-Stars from Suriname, and a São Paulo selection from Brazil, will be placed in two groups. The participating local teams are East Coast All-Stars, Linden All-Stars, Georgetown All-Stars and West Demerara All-Stars.
The winning team will pocket $1.2 million, while the losing finalist will receive half that amount. Third and fourth-placed finishers will pocket $300,000 and $100,000 respectively. Admission to the event will be $1,000.
