One Guyana/K&S National Futsal Championship: Jai Signs and Designs joins the game; First place prize now $2 million

It’s shaping up to be a fantastic yearend spectacle, that’s the historic One Guyana National Futsal Championship organised by the Kashif and Shanghai Organisation (K&S) and powered by the Government of Guyana.
Corporate partners continue to raise their hands to be a part of this championship, with Jai Signs and Designs, located at Lot ‘D’ Independence Boulevard, Georgetown, handing over their contribution yesterday.
Managing Director Nankumar ‘Jai’ Rampersaud, in an invited comment, shared that his company, a household name in Guyana, is very thrilled to be supporting this championship, which is already the talk of the town.
“We are happy to be throwing in our lot in an activity that will bring together so many youths from around Guyana, including female players. We see this as one of the many ways of giving back to our community, to say thanks for their support throughout the year. We would like to wish the organisers and the players the very best in this inaugural venture, and assure all of our continued support.”
Accepting the sponsorship on behalf of the K&S Organisation, Co-Director Aubrey ‘Shanghai’ Major expressed the entity’s gratitude to Mr. Rampersaud. He recalled that they have always been supportive of ventures undertaken by his organisation.

“Whilst we have not come your way in a few years, we were always confident that you, like many other entities, would relish the opportunity to support us and sports once again. This championship is all about empowering our players and affording them that opportunity to showcase their skills in a competitive setting, where they’ll be rewarded. We must say thanks to you for answering the call once again, Mr. Rampersaud.”
Meanwhile, Kashif Muhammad disclosed that the response from corporate Guyana has been superb so far, to the extent that the organisers had no alternative but to increase the top prize for the male segment of the competition.
“I must say that we are very overwhelmed by the positive responses that we have been receiving so far from the business community for this championship. So, we met as an executive and collectively decided that we will increase the prize monies for the male competition,” he disclosed.
The new prize structure is as follows 1st- $2,000,000 (Two Million), 2nd- $ 1,000,000
3rd- $500,000, and 4th- $200,000. For the Female competition, which will see six (6) teams competing, the first-place prize will be 1st – $200,000, 2nd- $100,000, 3rd- $60,000, and 4th- $40,000. The other two teams will receive $30,000 each.
Some 64 male teams from around Guyana will be battling over what is anticipated to be 14 nights of exhilarating action at the National Gymnasium from Tuesday next, when the official March Past will take place, and subsequently at the newly refurbished and fully air-conditioned Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.
