MONROVIA, 18 August 2025 — Liberia get new pre-season marker this year as Bettomax Liberia join hands with the Liberia Football Association to roll out the Bettomax Champions Cup, a three-year project meant to raise competition level before league ball starts.
The format is clean and fan-friendly: eight First Division clubs, two groups, then semifinals, third-place, and a grand final. Matches open at Tusa Field in Gardnersville, with closing group fixtures also set to touch SKD depending on scheduling. Beyond bragging rights, teams are chasing meaningful cash prizes, giving coaches a real reason to test tactics and new signings under proper pressure.
There were late tweaks to the lineup as the calendar settled, but the field still promises spice — from Heaven Eleven and Bea Mountain to Watanga, Discoveries, Borough, Paynesville, Blackman Warrior, and the LPRC Oilers. With the domestic season around the corner, the Cup serves as a live audit for fitness, depth, and game management.
Bettomax, no stranger to local football, already backs Watanga FC in the men’s league and Shaita Angels FC in the women’s game. Off the pitch, the company runs a steady community program with monthly donations to major hospitals — JFK Medical Center, Catholic Hospital, Redemption — and support to children’s homes. That blend of sport and social investment is part of why the LFA sees the tournament as more than a short pre-season splash.
“This is the kind of platform that sharpens competition and builds tradition,” LFA voices noted at the launch. The federation also signaled interest in expanding to a women’s edition in future, once dates and resources align.
For fans, August now carries fresh meaning: extra matchdays, a look at new kits and new faces, and a clearer picture of who’s ready to run when the league whistle blows. If this inaugural edition hits the standard promised, the Bettomax Champions Cup could quickly become Liberia’s annual pre-season truth-test — high tempo, real stakes, and a community heartbeat behind it.
