The Guyana Amazon Warriors and ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League (GSL) have announced that all ticket sales from this year’s final will support educational and humanitarian aid for people affected by the MV Barima tragedy.
On July 18, 2026, the MV Barima, an 87-year-old state-run passenger and cargo ferry, left Georgetown. Around 11:00 PM, it capsized and sank about 7 to 9 miles off the Essequibo coast near Iron Punt. Survivors said the vessel had begun to lean hours earlier and quickly took on water after rough waves. So far, 65 people have been confirmed dead.
This tragedy has touched people across Guyana and beyond. Sir Clive Lloyd, the chairman of GSL, said: “The MV Barima tragedy has deeply affected all of us here in Guyana, as well as the players and support staff visiting Guyana for the League. Our prayers continue to go out to those grieving profound loss and those brave responders whose work continues. We have decided to dedicate proceeds from the Final to support the affected families and survivors. We thank Guyana Amazon Warriors for leading this initiative.”
The ExxonMobil Guyana Global Super League final will take place on August 1 at the National Stadium.
