He noted that the event was the brainchild of his and Santos Football Club and after a few years, Ansa McAl joined in under the Carib Beer brand. Meanwhile, Kashif Mohamed, Co-Director of the Kashif and Shanghai organisation and Tournament Organiser said that after being contacted, they were more than happy to come on board.
