Participating teams of this year’s Kashif and Shanghai football tournament will meet with the organisors today at the Princes Hotel and Casino for the official team briefing.
According to the Kashif and Shanghai Organisation, teams should make a special effort to attend, since any issues pertaining to the tournament will be dealt with at the briefing and representatives are asked to be on time for the 11:00 AM start.
Sixteen of the country’s best teams will be vying for supremacy in the 23rd hosting of the tournament which kicks off on Sunday December 16 at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground and concludes on New Years Day (January1) at the Guyana National Stadium.
Unlike last year, only local teams will contend for the title with Guyana’s #1 club Alpha ‘The Hammer’ United making a return after missing the previous tournament as well as last year’s finalist Pele and former champions Western Tigers leading the charges for teams out of Georgetown.
Fourth place finishers in the 2011/12 competition, Amelia’s Ward United will field a revamped team as they join Milerock, Winners Connection and Silver Shattas as the teams from Linden.
Timehri Panthers and Grove Hi-Tech (East Bank), Bakewell Buxton Stars, Buxton United, BV/Triumph United (East Coast), Den Amstel, Uitvlugt (West Bank) and Mill Ballers from Bartica are the other teams competing this year.
The winning team this year will take home $4M, with the Most Valuable Player (MVP) will drive away with a brand new motor car. $1M will be awarded to the runners up, third $750,000 and fourth $500,000.
