THE NESTLÉ MILO one-day tournament is on next Sunday, September 17 at the Football Factory on Shortwood Road.

Set to kick-off at 9 a.m. the tournament will showcase the skills of players from the KSAFA Under-13 competitio­n. Five of the best players will win a trip to the Barcelona Camp Nou Experience from October 16-18 this year.

Nestlé MILO created this pathway for young football enthusiast­s to excel and enjoy the unique experience of playing at world-class facilities where the likes of football icons like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Gerard Pique and many others have thrilled millions of fans.

The four-year deal signed between Nestlé Milo and FC Barcelona will afford the world’s MILO fans the opportunit­y to visit FC Barcelona’s headquarte­rs and training facilities and receive coaching from FC Barcelona coaches in a series of sports clinics. The agreement is based on a shared vision to promote healthier lifestyles through physical activity among children, especially during their foundation stage: 7 to 12 years old.

Raymond ‘Sean’ Wallace, marketing manager at Nestle Jamaica spoke passionate­ly about the opportunit­y, “this is part of the strength of having global companies such as Nestle in Jamaica. The youngsters selected will get the coveted opportunit­y to join with young football enthusiast­s from other countries, parade their skills and possibly form friendship­s at Camp Nou.”

He also spoke of the local Nestle MILO sponsorshi­p of the KSAFA Under-13 Football competitio­n stating, “MILO is all about encouragin­g an active lifestyle among children through nutrition and physical activity.

The Barcelona Experience will add a bigger dimension to the experience for the five youngsters who win on Sunday, and we hope to see numerous parents and extended family members cheering for them.”
