Meanwhile, Magnum Brand Manager Jamal Baird stated that all systems are in place for the staging of the tournament, adding that the previous tournament was a tremendous success, and that brand will be aiming to “Tek Charge” tomorrow in an effort to provide another exhilarating evening of action.
Similarly, Triston Freeman, Lucozade Brand Manager, revealed the brand is synonymous with grassroots development, and that the overwhelming support of the previous tournament made it easy for their continued partnership with the event.
Also, Aliyah Hamilton, Ansa McAl Corporate Communications Officer, disclosed that the company which will be celebrating its 30 year anniversary, has consistently invested in youth and sport development, adding that the Magnum Independence Cup is evidence of the company’s commitment to the development of the local human capital.
She further stated that football has a positive future locally, and that brands such as Lucozade and Magnum would have certainly played their part in cultivating a positive environment.
The winner of the mini championship will pocket $300,000, while the second, third and fourth place sides will walk away with $150,000, $100,000, and 50,000 respectively.
