‘One Guyana’ King and Queen of the Sand Football now set for Independence Day kick-off

…March pass and six matches set to ignite Bauxite Mining Town

The 2025 edition of the One Guyana King and Queen of the Sand Football championships – which were set to kick off on Sunday, May 18 but were curtailed by rain – will now kick off on Independence Day at the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Linden office ground.

As the excitement ramps up among the teams in what is anticipated to be a fiercely-contested tournament, a total of 20 male teams and eight female teams will be matching skills over the next few weeks as they seek to be the top two in each group and so advance to the next round and the overall top four.
Following the opening match, a queen’s clash from 17:30h between Iconic Strikers and Rockstone, there will be a colourful march past of all contesting teams, both female and male.
This would be followed by another match in the queen’s segment of the competition between Avocado Ballers and Hururu from 19:00h.
Thereafter, the kings will take centre stage, and the first match will see Team Mineral matching skills with Swan FC from 20:10h. Next up will be UDK Victors against Lil Ballers from 21:00h.
Rockstone will throw down the gauntlet to Hardball Management in the main supporting match from 21:50h, with the feature clash between HH Ballers and Avocado.
Speightland will be defending the queen’s title while a new king will be crowned as last year’s champions, DC Ballers are not in the reckoning this time around. Over $4 million in cash, trophies, and other incentives will be up for grabs. The action will continue on Friday at the same venue.
