GFF Elite League Champions, Slingerz FC, will be hunting their second Year-End football title.
Opening weekend fixtures are expected to be released on tomorrow.
According to the GFF, this year’s Super-16 Cup brings together the nation’s premier Elite League clubs and standout Regional Member Association (RMA) teams.
The competition will feature a split, round-robin group phase that determines which eight lower-seeded teams advance to the quarter-finals.
The top four finishers from the recently concluded Elite League Season 7 have been automatically seeded into the quarter-final stage, bypassing the early rounds.
These Elite League giants were placed in separate groups to anchor the draw:
Group A: Slingerz Football Club (Elite League Champions)
Group B: Western Tigers FC
Group C: Guyana Police Force FC
Group D: Guyana Defence Force FC
The remaining 12 clubs, featuring the 5th to 9th placed Elite League finishers and seven RMA squads, were drawn into three-team groups to battle for a spot against the seeded heavyweights.
Elite League Clubs (5th–9th) in Group Phase:
Monedderlust FC (Group A)
Den Amstel (Group B)
Santos FC (Group C)
Ann’s Grove (Group D)
Fruta Conquerors FC (Group C)
Regional Member Association Teams:
Group A: Strikers FC (Rupununi FA), Buxton Stars (East Coast FA)
Group B: Beacon FC (Georgetown FA), Zeelugt Defenders FC (West Demerara FA)
Group C: Camptown FC (Georgetown FA)
Group D: Mahaica Determinators (East Coast FA), Uitvlugt Warriors FC (West Demerara FA)
The winners of these initial four groups will advance to the tournament semi-finals, set along predetermined paths, with Group A winner facing the Group C winner, while the Group B winner meets the Group D winner.
According to the GFF, $2M awaits the champions, $1M for the runners-up, $750,000 for third place, and G$500,000 for fourth.
