Adoni Production football to be re-introduced

Jun 20, 2012 Sports

The Adoni Production Five-a-side Football competition, which was first held two years ago, is being re-introduced under the concept ‘keeping your five alive’, and this year’s competition is scheduled to commence on June 26 on the National Cultural Centre Tarmac (NCC).
Organiser, Kevin Adonis said that the competition, which saw $250,000 being awarded in cash and prizes in its inaugural year, will have $500,000 up for grabs this year.
For a team to remain ‘alive’ in the competition, which climaxes with the grand final on August 3, they must continue to win.
In addition to the NCC, games will be played at the East Ruimveldt Community Centre Ground (California Square Tarmac) and no admission fee will be charged at either of the venues to encourage large turn-outs.
Adonis said the competition has the potential to become the five-a-side version of the Kashif and Shanghai football competition and added that security is a huge consideration for the Organisers to ensure responsible behavior among the spectators.
According to him, a number of business entities have already committed to sponsorship including Courts, Giftland OfficeMax, Hits & Jams TV, White Castle Fish Shop, Universal Janitorial Services, Colours Boutique, Impressions and Banks DIH.
He said that he hopes the media would also throw its support behind the tournament, which he says seeks to harness and develop the energies and talents of youths in a positive way.
Matches will be played at the NCC on June 26 & July 3, 6, 10, 13, 17, 24, 27 & 31 before the final is also played there on August 3. The East Ruimveldt Community Centre ground will hosts games on June 29 and July 20.
