Corporate support continues to play a vital role in the development of local sport, and that contribution was once again highlighted as Cevons Waste Management stepped forward to assist Guyana’s Masters hockey programme.
In a recent statement, the Guyana Hockey Board expressed sincere appreciation to the company for its sponsorship of uniforms for the Guyana Masters women’s team. The timely donation comes as the team prepares to compete at the World Masters Indoor Hockey World Cup 2026, which will be hosted at the David Ross Sports Village in Nottingham from March 26–31.
The contribution from Cevons ensures that the Guyanese players will be properly outfitted as they take on international competition, removing a significant financial burden and allowing the athletes to focus on performance. The Guyana Hockey Board noted that such partnerships are critical in enabling teams to participate in global events, particularly at the masters level, where funding can often be limited.
This year’s tournament is expected to feature more than 98 teams across multiple age categories, with over 200 matches scheduled. Guyana will be strongly represented, with four teams set to compete: Over-40 Women, Over-40 Men, Over-50 Men, and Over-55 Men –marking one of the country’s largest-ever showings at a Masters World Cup.
The support from Cevons also builds on the momentum of Guyana’s previous success on the international stage. At the 2024 Masters World Cup, the nation’s Over-45 Men’s Team produced a memorable campaign, defeating England in the preliminary round before narrowly losing to the hosts in the final.
As anticipation builds for the 2026 tournament, the Guyana Hockey Board emphasised that contributions like Cevons’ sponsorship not only provide essential resources but also serve as a morale boost for players representing the Golden Arrowhead abroad.
