Major League Soccer Super Star Dwayne De Rosario was the latest contributor to the 24th Kashif and Shanghai Football tournament which has taken on, for the first time, the secondary schools format.
The Canadian, who is of Guyanese descent by virtue of both parents, presented the organisers with a pair of golden Puma cleats, which he (De Rosario) says is to be awarded to the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the tournament.
De Rosario made the presentation in front the massive crowd at the Mackenzie Sports Club Ground on Sunday last and received thunderous applause for his gesture.

Addressing the audience after making the presentation, De Rosario said that he’s over-joyed by making his maiden voyage to Guyana and most importantly, getting a chance to be part of the Kashif and Shanghai School’s football tournament.
“I want to present these football cleats to the MVP, whoever that lucky player is and I hope that it would be cherished as well. I love to give back to football, especially through the youths and I’m glad Kashif and Shanghai could make me being here in Guyana a success,” said the famed footballer.
He added that since it was his first time coming to Guyana, he wanted to make a lasting impression on the youths and lauded the organisers for giving the youths a major platform to showcase their talent.
“I’m returning to my roots for the first time and I’m very happy about it, but what I’m more happy about is the fact these young players can have a very big stage to showcase their talents on. It’s important to not only invest in their future, but also to give them that stage where everyone would see them, follow them, and help turn them into stars. Every player loves to be seen and I’m glad people are coming out in their numbers to support them as well,” the former MLS MVP noted.
