Soft ‘n’ Pretty on board as MVP Sports Girls tournament kicks off today
As the MVP Sports’ Girls’ Under-11 Pee-Wee Football tournament commences at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground today, the Soft ‘n’ Pretty Brand has joined the sponsorship train just in the nick of time, solidifying their support on Friday morning during a simple ceremony.
Managed by V &V Distributors, the brand joins the likes of title sponsors MVP Sports and Guyana Beverage Inc’s Kool Kidz as supporters for the Girls’ tournament.
“At V &V Distributors, we are always happy to give back and to be generous to social and schools’ programmes that have a positive influence on young people in our society,” V&V Distributors representative Nazim Hassan shared at the Brandsville Hotel on Friday morning.
He went on to add about the company’s intentions, “We are particularly pleased now to be associated with the Under-11 female football programme using our Soft and Pretty brand of paper products. We know that the competition will be another successful story. May the best team win.”

On the other hand, there was an outpouring of gratitude from Petra Co-Director Troy Mendonca, who reminded of the impact that V&V Distributors and other corporate sponsors’ support will have on the tournament when he expressed, “Definitely Mr. Hassan, his contribution will go a far way, not only to help us organize the tournament, but to create a platform and the environment for these young girls to showcase their talent. It’s going to build future leaders in their own right. So, on behalf of the Petra Organisation and the entire football fraternity, we would like to thank you.”
When action in the Girls’ Under-11 Football begins today, Batavia Primary will take on F.E. Pollard Primary in the first game, at 10hrs; Potaro Primary and Smith Memorial Primary will go head-to-head; Genesis and West Ruimveldt will do battle, while One Mile and North Georgetown Primary would be coming opposing each other. Then, at 12:00hrs, Waramuri Primary will take on St. John the Baptist.
In a later fixture on the day, defending champions Marian Academy will go toe- to-toe with Stella Maris Primary to close out the first round of games in the Group stage, two rounds of which are expected to be conducted today.
The teams are vying for a $100,000 grand prize that would go towards a school project, while second-, third-, and fourth-place finishers would respectively receive $75,000, $50,000 and $25,000 for the same purpose.
