Additionally, they will be flagship sponsors for two events – Girls’ Under-11 School Football and a Senior Futsal Tournament.
In total, the sponsorship encompasses 10 tournaments at both the school and senior levels, starting with the Milo Schools Under-18 tournament that kicks off on Saturday.

They will be split into eight groups of four, with the top two teams progressing to the round of 16.
