As in the previous years, the DDL executive assured the K&S duo that her company will continue to render support to the tournament.
Mr. Muhammad expressed gratitude to his benefactor even as he informed that arrangements are progressing satisfactorily. He said that his executives are currently engaged in discussions with various stakeholders including Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport , Frank Anthony, other members of the corporate community as well as the bottom tiered workers.
“This year’s tournament will top all others not only in the area of shrewd organizing but also with the quality of play,” assured Mr. Muhammad who also boasted of having the best teams in the local pool competing against each other.
In all, sixteen football teams comprising the cream of the crop will commence the arduous journey to the top starting on December 16 next. The top team will cart off 4 million dollars plus the trophy, a symbol of local football excellence. The runner up team pockets one million dollars while the third and fourth place teams win $750,000 and $500,000 respectively.
