Following the unavailability of the National Gymnasium, and the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, tournament organizer Edison Jefford revealed that the fourth Magnum Independence Cup, will be hosted at Togetherness Park, East Coast Demerara.
Jefford explained that usual sites of the tournament are currently under remedial construction, noting that the outside venue will add a different element to the tournament, which has become a staple nationally amongst the traditional street football teams.
Winner of the event will pocket $700,000, and the championship trophy, with the runner-up walking away with $400,000 and the corresponding accolade. On the other hand, the third and fourth place finishers will pocket $200,000 and $100,000 respectively.
