Trinidad and To­ba­go Pre­mier Foot­ball League (TTPFL) cam­paign­ers San Juan Jabloteh have re­ceived a boost through plat­inum spon­sor­ship from ANSA McAL Lim­it­ed for the on­go­ing 2025/2026 sea­son.

The spon­sor­ship was for­mal­ly an­nounced last Fri­day (March 13, 2026), and for­mal­ly marked via a me­dia re­lease yes­ter­day.

The re­lease stat­ed that ANSA McAL is "com­mit­ting re­sources to sup­port Jabloteh's long-stand­ing work de­vel­op­ing young ath­letes and cre­at­ing mean­ing­ful op­por­tu­ni­ties for them both on and off the field."

ANSA McAL Group CEO, An­tho­ny N. Sab­ga III, said:

"We be­lieve in the po­ten­tial of every young per­son in this coun­try. This spon­sor­ship is about in­vest­ing in young peo­ple who are work­ing hard every day to build their fu­tures. That mat­ters to us, and it is very much part of what we mean when we talk about growth."

Sab­ga was speak­ing as mem­bers of the Jabloteh team vis­it­ed the com­pa­ny's head of­fice on Mar­aval Road, Port of Spain, to be pre­sent­ed with the club's ANSA McAL-brand­ed jer­seys and of­fi­cial­ly launch the col­lab­o­ra­tion, but be­yond the field, the spon­sor­ship opens doors for Jabloteh play­ers with­in the ANSA McAL Group.

Ath­letes will have ac­cess to pro­fes­sion­al train­ing pro­grammes and in­tern­ships across the group's net­work of com­pa­nies, of­fer­ing a path­way that ex­tends well be­yond the fi­nal whis­tle.

San Jabloteh Sports Club Chair­man Ni­rad Tewarie said:

"We are grate­ful for ANSA McAL's com­mit­ment to Jabloteh and to the young peo­ple we serve. With ANSA McAL com­ing in as lead spon­sor, it al­lows us to con­tin­ue do­ing what we do best: giv­ing young peo­ple from our com­mu­ni­ties a plat­form to grow, com­pete, and build ca­reers."

The part­ner­ship is ex­pect­ed to sup­port Jabloteh's con­tin­ued ef­forts to of­fer young ath­letes the op­por­tu­ni­ty to play at no cost, re­mov­ing eco­nom­ic bar­ri­ers and en­sur­ing that tal­ent and ded­i­ca­tion re­main the on­ly cri­te­ria for par­tic­i­pa­tion. Through this spon­sor­ship, ANSA McAL di­rect­ly sup­ports over 130 youth in the club.

Last year, more than 170 young peo­ple par­tic­i­pat­ed in foot­ball and net­ball pro­grammes through Jabloteh free of charge, a pow­er­ful demon­stra­tion of what com­mu­ni­ty in­vest­ment can do for con­fi­dence, dis­ci­pline, and op­por­tu­ni­ty.
