Kaieteur Sports – In a grand display of commitment to the development of sports and the nurturing of young talent, the renowned fast-food giant KFC (Guyana) has once again shown its unwavering support for the local sporting community. In a ceremony brimming with excitement and appreciation, KFC presented cheques totaling $4.5 million to the top four teams in the recently concluded Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Elite League.

This gesture not only highlights KFC’s dedication to fostering athletic growth but also underscores the symbiotic relationship between corporate sponsorship and the elevation of sports in Guyana. The pinnacle of the event was the heartwarming moment when a cheque valued at $1.2 million was handed over to the exceptional Guyana Defence Force FC, a team that demonstrated unmatched skill and determination throughout GFF’s Season Five. Their electrifying performance on the field rightly earned them the top spot, and KFC’s recognition of their accomplishments.

This financial boost not only acknowledges their contributions to the league but also serves as an incentive for continued dedication to their sport.

Pamella Manesseh, the Marketing Manager of KFC Guyana, expressed the brand’s ongoing commitment to supporting events that promote sports, culture, and education. She emphasized, “We at KFC are always privileged to support these events, so we will continue doing so. Basically, sports, culture, and education – we will continue to make our youths smile and develop.” Manesseh also highlighted the significance of football in their sponsorship efforts, reminiscing about witnessing the league’s history and glory.
