The lads from Paruima (Region Seven) and the ladies from Georgetown, GT Kanaimas, went home as champions of the football segment when the curtains closed on the Amerindian Heritage Games on Sunday. It was a joy for the lads from Region Seven after falling short in 2022, as they defeated Region Two 2-1 to lift the title. Andrew Simmons netted both goals on either side of the half, while Devon Padmore scored for Region Two. In the women’s final, the formidable GT Kanaimas defeated Coomacka All Stars 4-3 on penalties after a scoreless 60 minutes. The Georgetown unit prevailed and defended their title.

Raydon Austin took 3-7, while Ershaad Ali had 2-16. Beepaul Bandu top-scored for Mahdia with 37 (1×4; 4x6s).
