Please be informed that the Organizers of the Ascension Tournament of Trinidad and Tobago 2022 is prepared to remit to the participating Clubs of the tournament, the sum of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars (TTD$250,000.00) in appearance fees. This is a result of the overwhelming support we have received for the tournament at the end of the first round of games. Which should finish on the 22nd May 2022. Not only have we gotten increased spectator support but several corporate sponsors have assisted the tournament tremendously. Namely :
- TERMINIX TRINIDAD LIMITED
- LA SOUFRIERE MARITIME LIMITED
- CAMPARI
- MAGNUM
- TV6 AND EXPRESS
- CNC3 AND GUARDIAN
As such, each participating Club will receive Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) at the end of the first round of games of the Tournament.
This initiative is part of the ongoing Strategic Plan of the Tournament of sharing revenue of the Tournament with participating clubs to help alleviate their expenses. We also expect this financial support to increase in the future as the Tournament improves in popularity.
A critical element of the success of the Tournament is the role of the media of bringing the football to the public. Every single game of the competition was streamed on our website https://theascensiontournament.com/. The double header games on Friday nights are shown on Sportsmax and TV6. The Sunday game was shown on CNC3. With the games on Saturdays and Sundays being also shown on Music and Entertainment TV. All games are also shown on Youtube and they are also archived on our website where any interested person can view an entire transmission of a past game. This has clearly brought the local football to the homes of the entire population of Trinidad and Tobago and the other Caribbean islands. It has popularized the Tournament exponentially. In addition, such wide media exposure has also provided the opportunity for prospective players to be viewed by professional football scouts with the hope of creating employment opportunities abroad for local players.
This is laying the foundation for the ASCENSION TOURNAMENT 2023. We also wish to thank the media for their fantastic coverage and support of Tournament. With special thanks going to Sportsmax, TV6, Express, CNC3, Guardian, M&E TV and WI Sports.
