The Global Capital Master’s League has commenced yet again. After originally being put on hold in 2020, due to the COVID-19 restrictions, the league is picking up the threads for an all-new electrifying 2022 season. It has already been three weeks into the season and things are heating up Immensely.
Global Capital continues to be the brand sponsor for the league. Rochelle Brown, the CEO, stated that “As a good corporate citizen, we aim to not solely be relevant and responsive to the needs of the communities in which we live but to also invest in empowering people with the proficiencies required to improve their health, safety, and well-being. By sponsoring athletics, arts, music, education, and more, we are supporting the goals of our customers and employees.”
Last year’s results concluded with Realest FC crowned as the 2020/21 Champions, and Cheshire Hall FC coming in a close second. We also witnessed the SWA Sharks FC and the Teachers FC battling out in a captivating match in contention for the third place position. Both sides gave it their all in the match; the SWA Sharks FC claimed the win and the third place spot.
Phillip Shearer (Realest FC), was awarded the Golden Boot award, whilst his teammate and goalkeeper Aaron Lawrence walked away not only with the Golden Glove award but also with the league MVP award.
It has to be highlighted that Global Capital plays a very vital role in the Master’s League. As the brand sponsor for the 2022 Global Capital Master’s League, they have put forward $5,000 towards to the work being done in the sport. Victor Lowe, founder and president of Global Capital Ltd. commented, “Our sponsorship is not only because of our corporate responsibility, but it also embodies the very backdrop of what this company was founded on, ‘Helping people to help themselves.’ ” In addition to this, he added, "As Brand Sponsor we wish to thank Madam Sonia Fulford-Missick, President of the TCIAA and Executive Committee Member of FIFA, Mr. Oliver Smith, General Secretary, The TCIFA, and all of the hard-working members of staff for the great work they are doing. To the players, we wish them much success, as their efforts do not go unnoticed".
It will be enthralling to see which team emerges on top of the standings this season. Will Realest FC reclaim its title? Or will an alternate team take their crown, well based on the opening matches of the 2022 season, It must be said that Realest FC seems to be coming back just as hard this year. In their first match, Realest FC faced off against Teachers FC and won 9-0. This scoreline speaks volumes for what we can expect to see from Realest FC this season. In the second opening match, Police FC came out on top against Beaches FC with a 3-1 victory.
The Global Capital Master’s League serves as an opportunity for players 35 and older in the Turks and Caicos to come together and play competitive football. This year welcomed the addition of females to the league, which in previous saw only male participation. As the season progresses it will be riveting to see which teams emerge with a win or a loss.
