Carlsberg sponsors CoM Six-A-Side league
Carlsberg Malawi Limited has added flavour to football by sponsoring a Six-A-Side indoor soccer league to involve corporate teams at the College of Medicine (CoM) Sports Complex in Blantyre.
The K700 000 Carlsberg league will be launched today at 5.30pm at CoM, where a Carlsberg team will face TNM before Old Mutual take on the hosts in ceremonial encounters.
Carlsberg Malawi senior brands manager Twikale Chirwa, whose firm also sponsors the Carlsberg Cup for elite football teams, said yesterday that their financial support towards the Six-A-Side league is one way of appreciating the support they get from their customers.
“Carlsberg is always part of football. We would like to give the corporate teams an opportunity to showcase their skills while improving their physical health,” said Chirwa.
According to CoM sports officer Chris Siliya, the league will run for 12 weeks and entry fee per team is K15 000.
He said participating corporate teams will be free to put their banners at the venue.
“At the end of the league, on top of the team prizes, there will be some individual prizes for top scorers and man of the match. The best dressed team will also be awarded,” he said.
Meanwhile, Carlsberg, CoM, TNM, Old Mutual, NedBank, CDH, Masm, Toyota Malawi, FMB, Kingfisher, Chemical Inbalanced, Nico, Macra and Standard Bank have already joined the competition.
