Defending champions Diamond Trust Bank are among over 36 teams that will be in action in the 13th edition of the Left Foot Sports “World Cup” tournament to be played at the Railway Club, Nairobi, this weekend.
Diamond Trust Bank defeated Tradewinds Aviation Services to win last year’s title and will field two teams in Sunday’s tournament that will start at 8.30am.
Nation Media Group will, meanwhile, enter three teams – two in the men’s competition and one in the women’s tournament.
The Nation Media Group teams will also be carrying the StarTimes and St Mary’s School banners after the two organisations recently came on board as NMG partners in sports and wellness programmes.
Tournament organiser Aman Bhasin of Left Foot Sports Limited said he expects more entries by Friday’s deadline.
“With six days to go, we have over 36 teams registered so far in the men’s category and we expect entries in the women’s and under-17 categories,” Bhasin said on Tuesday.
