The Magnum Tonic Wine Futsal Tournament had a brief, yet informative launching on Saturday at the Fireside Grill and Chill.

On Saturday the tournament was officially launched at Fireside Grill and Chill, a sponsor of the event, with the organiser and brand managers/representative of the other supporters during a simple ceremony.

However, tonight’s action will see Showstoppers take on Belifield in the opening match of the tournament then Road Warriors will oppose the Beterverwagting Team (BV) in the match that follows.

East Front Road and Avocado Ballers meet in the third match while Mocha and Sophia contest the fourth match of the evening.

In the final three matches, Back Circle goes head to head with Melaine, Sparta Boss locks horns with Alexander Village while Gold is Money and Albouystown contest the feature match of the evening.

At the launch, head of the organising team, Edison Jefford, stated that his team is quite ecstatic to have the tournament finally reach the commencement stage since it has been a torrid time to host events following the pandemic.

They have faced some challenges with this edition being the first to be held in an outdoor setting. For the past three years the competition was held indoors at the National Gymnasium but will now see a chilly air resonate during the event.

Also at the tournament were Brand Managers of Magnum Tonic Wine and Lucozade, who both took the time to resonate similar comments about honouring the call of social responsibility and also giving back to youths in a positive manner.

The tournament is expected to be an intriguing once since it will be the first of its format to make a return since the outbreak of COVID-19.
