Demerara Distillers Limited (DDL) under their PEPSI and Gatorade brands has announced their support for the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) for the return leg of the World Cup Qualifier (WCQ) against St. Vincent
and the Grenadines slated for Sunday at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence.
Speaking at the launching yesterday at the GFF office, PEPSI Brand manager Larry Wills said they are pleased to be associated with the GFF Normilisation Committee and the Golden Jaguars to host the game. “We are quite excited at the prospects of the Golden Jaguars and we are prepared to support them all the way. Already we have been giving them support by providing Diamond Mineral Water and Gatorade to ensure that they are properly and hydrated at all times,” he added.
“DDL has always been supporting sports in Guyana and football is no different. We are proud to be part of the Jaguars during the last qualifying tournament and it is our responsibility as corporate citizens to given them as much support they need so I am urging the fans to come out and back our team and let them know that we are proud of them.”
Wills feels the Golden Jaguars can do Guyana proud. “The Jaguars have it in them to go a very far way again in the WCQ. Our sponsorship is not just for one match but we are behind them fully and we hope that it will be a long, long run. We take this opportunity to encourage each player to execute great sportsman ship and be competitive in this and every game,” he said adding that they do look forward to the exciting times ahead.
Assistant General Secretary of the GFF Diedre Davis thanked DDL for their support and noted the importance of their input. She called on the fans to support the team. The GFF was scheduled to meet with the Attorney General to iron out the issues surrounding the overseas based players who did not participate in yesterday’s game which ended 2-2. (Zaheer Mohamed)
