After an exuberant past few years, the TimeOut Entertainment team excitedly ushers in year 5 of Corporate Warfare Futsal action. At the press launch ceremony at the Financial Administrative Centre on September 2nd, 2019, the team welcomed in 29 teams with many repeaters back for another round of incredible futsal action, and newcomers hoping to stir things up.
Futsal, a popular variant of football usually played indoors, has fast become a staple on many sports enthusiasts’ calendars thanks to the TimeOut Entertainment team.
According to Lionel John, one of the event’s coordinators, “We are so fortunate to witness 5 years and be able to bring futsal to the communities, facilitate a grassroots project with the youngsters and host the first of many inter-island friendlies with the Fax Futsal Team visiting earlier this year. We are proud of the product we have developed and have the support of the sponsors, teams and fans to thank for all these successes. This year, we aim to continue to create a more elevated product which will support the charity endeavours we have undertaken and advance futsal not only in Saint Lucia but the region”.
The games are set to kick off on Saturday September 7th at the Beausejour Indoor Facility from 6pm. The tournament will be played in three stages; knock out, qualifiers and a group stage with two sets of prizes to be won overall.
TimeOut Team member Tamyka acknowledged the support of the many sponsors, corporate teams and fans, and thanked them for making this year even bigger and better. She highlighted the unified approach as a key catalyst in the success of the initiative.
Event sponsors were elated with the ongoing efforts of the team which has taken Corporate Warfare Futsal from stride to stride with the following statements summarizing the key highlights:
