The tournament, running for three weeks, is a collaborative effort between Cool Crew Promotion and Paradise Sports Club (PSC), aimed at showcasing emerging talents and delivering thrilling football action. Building upon the success of its inaugural edition, organisers Lynton Luke of Cool Crew Promotion and Glenford Fordyce of PSC have significantly raised the stakes, with a total of 2 million in cash and prizes on offer.

Third and fourth place finishers will also be rewarded with cash prizes of $150,000 and $50,000 respectively, alongside medals and trophies.
Meanwhile, in the quarter-final matchups, Buxton Stars faced BV United while Golden Stars FC took on Mahaica Determinators. Buxton Stars, the crowd favorites, suffered a setback as BV United staged a remarkable comeback to win 2-1. Despite taking an early lead with a Neil Hutson penalty in the 28th minute, Buxton Stars faltered in the second half, conceding quick goals from Devon Griffith and Tony Ogle in the 51st and 60th minutes.
Over in the other quarter-final clash, Mahaica Determinators dominated Golden Stars FC, securing a convincing 3-0 victory.
