This season’s matches will commence on Sunday, November 3 and follow through each Friday and Sunday starting at 5pm through to Friday, November 29 at the University of the West Indies Mona Bowl. 

 

Barrington Groves, Brand Manager at Sagicor Life Jamaica shared the reasoning behind the company’s sponsorship. ”Sagicor has been a sponsor of the league since 2010. Health, sports and education are at the core of most of the initiatives we support and this Champions League encompasses all those areas. The students of the UWI Mona Guild and by extension the wider university community have maintained and extraordinary level of excellence with this event and we are proud to be associated with it.” 

 

The first match day, Sunday, November 3, promises to be an exciting rivalry between Preston Hall’s Pirates and Taylor Hall’s Roosters and Block X from Chancellor Hall versus title holder Attica, also from Taylor Hall – starting at 3:30pm. Students of the University of the West Indies along with members of the public are invited to support on match days, Fridays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 5:00pm, free of cost. 

 

The league is also an effort to ignite camaraderie among students of the University of the West Indies whilst highlighting the football skills among players of respective blocks on the UWI Mona Campus. 

 

Estefan Ferron, Games Committee Chairman, UWI Mona Guild said “Both students and players look forward to this league. Sagicor is all about making the campus better and the Guild appreciates this. With sponsorship support through the years this league has gone through a metamorphosis which has brought the university together.” 

 

Last year, Attica, retained the Sagicor UWI Guild Champions League football title for the third year – after a hard fought 1-0 victory over fellow Taylor Hall team Stallion Republic. The team also won in 2006 and again in 2011 after the competition took a five-year break.
