As the clock ticks away the days to hours, to minutes and then seconds, organizers of the nation?s best football tournament, the Kashif and Shanghai football extravaganza, is busy putting the modalities in place to stage the 23rd edition of the tournament which gets underway from December 16 to January 1 next at several venues.
As is the trend, several business entities have donated various sums to ensure that football buffs enjoy a tournament of quality as has always been the case. Yesterday morning, another business enterprise, Mark Interior Communications of Light Street, Lacytown, donated a sizeable sum towards the success of the tournament.

This marks the third year that the business organization has acquiesced to financial support and two members of the management staff, Rubiane Pinheiro and Ana Rita Pinheiro, two Brazilians investing in Guyana?s economy, were on hand to make the presentation to the K&S duo, Aubrey ?Shanghai? Major and Kashif Muhammad.
Rubiane endorsed the tournament as the best on the local football calendar and said that the management of the business was impressed by the organizing skills exhibited by both K&S principals.
She further feels that over the years, the tournament has benefited numerous Guyanese footballers and it is through such input that Mark Interior Communications has renewed the sponsorship deal.
Ana Rita reminisced on the visit of Brazilian and world football icon, King Pele a few years ago, and said that it was made possible through the innovative skills of the K&S group. She said that it was indeed a momentous occasion and worthy of praise. ?Mark Interior Communications is always keen to invest in the development of young people and we feel that the K&S tournament gives us the opportunity to give back to the Guyanese community even as we contribute to football, a national sport in our mother country,? exhorted Ana Rita.
Meanwhile, Mr. Muhammad expressed gratitude to the management of Mark Interior Communications for their chivalry. He said that activities to ensure that the tournament delivers the usual excitement are moving steadily apace.
Sixteen teams comprising the nation?s best footballers will engage in intense warfare and the eventual winner will cart off a beautiful trophy and four million dollars, while the team finishing second receives one million dollars. The third and fourth places will cart off $750,000 and $500,000 respectively. Additionally, the Most Valuable Player will win a luxury motor car while coaches will be compensated for their hard work when the best among the lot receives one motorcycle. One lucky patron will also win one 110CC motorcycle after a draw is conducted at the Buxton fixture. The organizers have also organized an U-13 tournament that will be played simultaneously with the main tournament.
