ExxonMobil Boys and Girls U- 14 Tournament Briefing Title sponsors double sponsorship deal for 2023

To accommodate the significant expansion of the 2023 edition of the ExxonMobil boys and Girls U-14 schools football tournament, the title sponsors have more than doubled their initial investment.

During a press briefing for the fourth edition of the tournament at the National Library yesterday, Community Relations Adviser at ExxonMobil, Ryan Hoppie admitted that the company has upped its initial 6M sponsorship of the tournament to 13.9 million.

According to Hoppie, “It’s important for us at ExxonMobil to invest in our focus area of youth empowerment through sport.”

Co-Director of the Petra Organisation Troy Mendonca stated that they are overwhelmed by this support locally, adding that the tournament is shaping up to be one of the largest in its fouryear history.

New sponsors Guyana Shorebase Inc (GYSBI) through their Public Relations Manager Gomatie Gangadin echoed the sentiments of Hoppie, adding that the company also sees the value in investing in youth development through sport.

Kurt Braithwaite, Administrator of Allied Arts Division contended, “Oftentimes people don’t see the power of sport, with sport we see unity, we see young people developing friendships, lifelong friendships.”
