Bartica Regatta Football tourney benefits from LED lights from SMAGI

Football fans, players and athletes in Bartica will be delighted with the timely donation of 12 LED lights that will tremendously improve the illumination of the Bartica Community Centre Ground.

This donation has been made by the Small Miners Association Guyana Inc. (SMAGI) and it fulfills a commitment to the people of Bartica ahead of the highly anticipated Bartica Regatta Football Tournament 2026 and beyond.

The lights were officially handed over by SMAGI President David Daniels to the Bartica Town Council and His Worship the Mayor, Anthony Murray, ensuring that matches can now be played in a safer, well-lit environment, enhancing both the quality of play and the overall experience for players and spectators alike.

Additionally, football gear, including balls, were donated on behalf of the SMAGI, to the Bartica Football Association (BFA) and the Bartica Regatta Committee (BRC), further strengthening the support system for young athletes.

On display at the presentation were the trophies that will be awarded across the various categories during the tournament finals, symbols of excellence, discipline, and achievement.

President Daniels noted that, at SMAGI, “We believe that sports play a vital role in community development. This is more than just a donation; it is a continued commitment to uplifting communities and supporting the next generation.”
