Over $4M up for grabs in Top Cop Pre-Mash 5-A-Side Futsal Tournament

The fourth edition of the Commissioner of Police 5-A-Side Futsal Tournament will be played from February 20 to 22, 2026, on the tarmac behind the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall and will see some 64 teams competing for millions in cash prizes and trophies.
Speaking on the tournament, Sport Development Officer for the Guyana Police Force, Colin Boyce, who appeared on Radio Eve Leary, gave more details on the competition.
“The Commissioner of Police Pre-Mash 5-A-Side Futsal competition is slated from the 20th to the 22nd of February. We are expecting to host about 64 teams maximum, and very shortly those entry forms will be out. We will close the entry on February 18, after which we will have the draw. But to tell you a little more about the competition itself, this is the fourth edition.”

He noted that the first prize is set at $2 million, while the second is $1 million, the third $500,000, and the fourth prize $250,000. “We also have a prize for the most valuable player in the final – that’s another whopping $250,000.”
Boyce, however, stated that the first round will be played on the night of February 20 at 18:00h, while noting that each game is set to be seven minutes long – three and a half minutes per side.
“That’s a seven-minute game. So, if we have 64 teams, we’ll more than likely run the football for about six hours – six hours of football action, nonstop.”

He added that the event will be grand while reiterating that the Commissioner, Clifton Hicken, means well for not only the communities but also for football in general.
Boyce, nevertheless, stated that registration will be open from Monday, February 9, until February 18. “We are looking for 64 teams to register; that will be it. I recall last year we had much more than 64 teams, but at the end of the day, we want to finish this tournament within the three days.”
On this note, he has sounded a call for all the football clubs across Guyana to register for the exciting tournament.
