8th November, Georgetown: The Guyana Football Federation (GFF) has scheduled its Stag Big Four Tournament for this weekend at the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) Ground, Camp Ayanganna.

The semi-final match-ups on Friday 10th November, 2017 will feature Fruta Conquerors FC versus Victoria Kings FC in the first match followed by GDF FC versus Buxton United FC in the second of the double-header. The Finals and third place play-off will be contested on Sunday 12th November, 2017 at the same venue. The Prize monies up for grabs are first prize – $1,500,000, second prize – $700,000, third prize – $500,000 and fourth prize – $300,000.
GFF Director of Competitions, Ian Alves, in an invited comment, stated: “As the football fraternity is aware we’ve had a break between the end of Season II and the commencement of the Big Four tournament. Therefore, one of the things we will see in the ‘Big Four’ is which among the clubs have been able to maintain their training schedule, performance level and match fitness during the break. The results will very well be a reflection of such. We expect keen rivalry among the clubs since they will not only be competing for the cash prizes on offer, but will also be looking forward to going into Season III of the Elite League riding on their recent victories.”
