For the second consecutive year, South Asia Gateway Terminals (SAGT) Ltd. was the platinum sponsor of the tournament. EFLI Sri Lanka CEO/GM Dilroy Fernando said: “American football was introduced to Sri Lanka in 2011 by the Elite Football League of India (EFLI) and due to its many parallels to rugby the sport is becoming very popular amongst the locals. We are delighted to see teams all over the island taking part in the tournament. We are so grateful to SAGT for coming forward and propping with us to have this annual event a huge success.”
