The trophy will go to the winning team along with four million dollars, donated by another entity. Mr. Hinds also donated a lucrative financial package that will be given to the winning team in the Under-13 tournament that will be played simultaneously with the main tournament.
The Office of the Prime Minister has been contributing to the tournament for the past eight (8) years and Mr. Hinds acknowledged this feat while expressing delight in his association with the tournament.
