Winners Incorporated, the prominent sports gaming and casino firm in Liberia, has been honored with two prestigious awards by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (MYS) for its significant contributions to sports in the country, particularly during the recent 2022-2023 National County Sports Meet.
During the 26th Edition of the National County Sports Meet, Nimba County emerged as the victors in a thrilling 3-2 football match against Lofa County at the Samuel Kanyon Doe SKD Sports Stadium in Paynesville, successfully defending their championship title. Lofa and Sinoe were crowned champions in the kickball and basketball categories, respectively. As a special guest at the event, Winners Incorporated took the initiative to generously contribute $2,000,000 Liberian Dollars as well as individual awards to players and winners of the prestigious tournament.
In a ceremony held at Winners Inc.’s headquarters on Board Street, Monrovia, Eric Jallah, Special Assistant to Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Andy Quamie, presented the awards to Winners Inc. and its owner, Yacob Batshon.
