In what is expected to be an intriguing opening encounter, Pele Football Club will go head-to-head against the Mocha side Riddim Squad.
In the feature showdown of the night, Elite League top-runner Western Tigers will take on Northern Rangers from 20:30 hrs.
The Petra-organised tournament then resumes on Wednesday evening with another two matches: Santos meeting Buxton United in the curtain-raiser, while inaugural runners-up Police Football Club wrap up the night when they battle Beacon United. These matches are scheduled to be contested at the same times and venue as those of the previous contest.
The other teams slated to participate in the competition include defending champions Camptown Football Club, Mahaica Determinators, Buxton Stars, Grove Hi-Tech, Pouderoyen, Fruta Conquerors, and Den Amstel.
Camptown, in 2017, carted off $500,000 for triumphing over Police in the tournament’s final, while Pouderoyen FC won the third place showdown against Grove Hi-Tech.
