Amidst the frenzy of World Cup anticipation Lawless Events has decided to bring some of the excitement closer to home with Football Extravaganza.

The event, originally scheduled for May 29, will now be held on Saturday, June 5, at the UWI Mona Bowl and will see promoters, artistes, producers, disc jocks, entertainment websites and even dancers facing off in this one-day football tournament.

"It's not like your regular 90-minute football game. It's basically gonna be six matches, each lasting 35 minutes (15 minutes per half)" commented Lawless Events PR executive Sherilla Gordon.

"What we are aiming to create is a fun-filled party atmosphere while the matches are being played. We are gonna have Chromatic, DJ Mario and DJ Shine on the turntables throughout the course of the day and in between matches," added CEO Marvin Lawrence.

There is a further twist to the event as each team is allowed a minimum of five substitutions and there has to be at least one woman from each team on the field at all times. The teams will be playing for a trophy as well as a cash prize of $100,000 to be donated to a charity of their choice.

The event will be hosted by Kruddy from Renaissance Disco and attracts an admission cost of $800 at the gate and $500 for FAME Frat members and college students with valid IDs. Gates open at 11 a.m. with the first match kicking off at noon.

Football Extravaganza is endorsed by the Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) and sponsored by the RJR Communication Group, Supligen, Wata and Clear Sound Production Services
