K&S Football Extravaganza…American Football Company supports as preparations continue
Much excitement has been promised when the 23rd edition of the Kashif and Shanghai Football Extravaganza gets underway from December 16 – January 1 next at venues countrywide and the organisers are working assiduously to ensure that local football buffs enjoy a tournament of top quality.
The sustenance of the tournament depends largely on the input of the corporate community and already the organisers have received assurances from several business organizations.

Recently, Director of the K&S organization, Aubrey ‘Shanghai’ Major, travelled to the United States of America where he engaged several entities in discussions pertaining to corporate support.
While many of those approached have said that they will discuss the modalities of any sponsorship they will offer, a few have already acquiesced to lucrative packages. Among them is ‘Media World,’ a sports conglomerate in the USA.
Sixteen teams comprising the nation’s best footballers will face the starting lineup for a top prize of four million dollars while the team finishing second receives one million dollars. The third and fourth places will cart off $750,000 and $500,000 respectively. Additionally, the Most Valuable Player will win a luxury motor car while coaches will be compensated for their hard work when the best among the lot receives one motorcycle.
