Kings of the Street football tournament: International Teams confirm to join today’s Goodwill Qualifier
Teams composed of foreign players are expected to spice up the competition today as the Kings of the Street football tournament qualifying rounds continue at Lindo Park (Goodwill Playing Court) starting from 12 noon today, Saturday, June 1st, 2019.
The other team to watch today is last year’s runner-up that is coming in to get some redemption and vie for another chance to compete in the championship rounds.
Aside from them, a number of other highly-skilled street football teams are expected to make today’s qualifier the most anticipated and most competitive thus far.
After two qualifying rounds in Castle Bruce and Mahaut and endorsements from two of the island-nation’s most popular entertainers namely Triple Kay International and Signal band, the hype surrounding the tournament has reached some street football-loving international players living on the island. This prompted these players to form teams and signified their intention to join today’s qualifying Round.
When asked about the reason behind their impending entry to the tournament, they answered, “We want to have fun but most importantly, we will compete to showcase our skills and win the tournament.”
Two of these international teams named themselves, “The Doctors” and “ASUSM FC”. They are expected to provide stiff competition to local street football teams and great entertainment to many sports fans who have been following the progress of this year’s edition of the Kings of the Street Football Tournament.
Meantime, the exciting qualifying round held in Mahaut last Sunday, May 26, 2019, produced two more teams that qualified to the Championship Rounds and they are the “Jimmit Ballerz” and the “YTS Ballers”. They joined the “Komess Pack” who qualified during the Castle Bruce Qualifier. This year’s Champion will get $3,000.00 with the runner-up getting $1,000.00. Winners will also receive other special prizes.
Two new sponsors have also joined the growing list of corporate and private supporters of the tournament. WATA water, distributed by Archipelago Wine and Spirits, becomes the Official Water of the tournament, while Archipelago Trading’s social outreach arm ArchiCheer stepped forward to provide support too. The local tire company, D-Threads, likewise decided to become one of the donors of the tournament. The radio station Kairi FM also pledged some airtime to help further promote the tournament.
