Guyana Amazon Warriors allocate GSL final ticket revenue to MV Barima ferry disaster victims

Guyana Amazon Warriors GSL final MV Barima disaster ferry tragedy charitable donation

The Guyana Amazon Warriors secured a three‑wicket victory over the San Francisco Unicorns in the 2026 Guyana Super League T20 match at the National Stadium in Providence. Rovman Powell anchored the chase with an unbeaten 29, guiding the Warriors to a total of 131‑7.

In a separate development, the Warriors and the ExxonMobil‑backed Guyana Global Super League announced that all ticket sales from the league’s upcoming final on August 1 will be donated to support families and survivors of the MV Barima ferry tragedy. The aging state‑run vessel capsized on 18 July 2026 off the Essequibo coast, killing 65 people. Chairman Sir Clive Lloyd said the donations will provide educational and humanitarian aid to those affected.

The charitable pledge links the cricket tournament with relief efforts for the nationwide disaster, highlighting the sport’s role in community support.
