12 teams, $200,000 first prize up for grabs
New Era Entertainment has teamed up with the Upper Demerara Football Association (UDFA) to host its Cell Smart/Mackeson Futsal tournament in Linden, starting March 8, with all games slated for the Mackenzie Sports Club Hard Court. The twelve-team tournament will be played on a knock-out format and will fetch a first prize of $200,000, while second through fourth places are set to pocket $100,000, $75,000 and $25,000 respectively.
“We’re hoping to make this tournament one of the best ever to be held in Linden and I’m guaranteeing some very attractive individual prizes,” said New Era Entertainment’s Co-Director Aubrey Major Jr.
According to Major, while they are yet to register or make known the 12 participating teams, he’s aware that Linden is filled with players who normally form their squad to fit the shorter format of the game, noting, “…we know there are teams like Russians, Hard Knocks, Retrieve Unknowns, Canvas City All-Stars, Sharp Shooters and Team-25 who have so far signaled their intention of playing and are getting themselves together to register. We’re hearing about a few new teams as well, so what we’ll be doing, is working with the UDFA in making sure that everything is done in order so we wouldn’t have any problems.”
He added that, “Deadline for registration is February 12 and forms can be uplifted and handed in at Muslim’s Top-Up Shop. We’re urging everyone, especially those who would’ve collected the forms to please make sure that they register before the deadline because we wouldn’t be collecting any more teams after the date has passed. Some teams have already brought in their forms and we’ll make an official announcement when everything is final.”
Apart from the opening date, matches will be played on March 9, 13, 15, 17, 19 and the final on March 22.
