Now in its ninth year, Corporate Warfare Futsal has established itself as an essential part of the local sporting calendar, and the 2025 edition only reinforced this reputation. Twenty-four teams took to the court when the competition kicked off in September, drawn into six pots of four.
Continuing with the effective Swiss model adopted in 2024, each team battled through five league-stage matches against different opponents from outside their pot, a format that rewarded consistency while ensuring competitive balance. At the conclusion of the league stage, the teams were categorized into three tiers based on their standings.
Tier 1 featured the top eight teams, with the formidable Sidwan outfit leading the pack. Tier 2 was topped by Small Business Owners, who narrowly missed the elite bracket by finishing ninth, while Tier 3 included teams ranked 17th to 24th. The competition then took on a distinctive edge, as each tier advanced independently through the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, guaranteeing that every team had silverware to pursue. For the first time in Corporate Warfare history, the tournament culminated with three separate finals on the same night, making December 6 a true futsal festival.
The highlight of the event was the Tier 1 final, where Sidwan Ballerz defeated Rapid Ballerz 6–4. Despite being in their third consecutive final, Rapid Ballerz struggled under pressure, with Sidwan taking a strong lead by the 26th minute at 4–2.
The turning point came in the 27th minute when Andrus Remy led an unstoppable charge, scoring three of his four goals in a decisive stretch. This performance crowned Sidwan as the Tier 1 champions.
In the Tier 3 final, WASCO faced SLTU in a tense match that ended in a draw, but WASCO triumphed in the penalty shootout, celebrating their championship victory. Meanwhile, in the Tier 2 final, Small Business Owners demonstrated their strength with a solid 4–2 win over CCR Ballerz, highlighting their skill and discipline.
The individual accolades highlighted the exceptional talent on finals night.
In Tier 3, WASCO’s Jaden Christopher was named Finals MVP, with SLTU’s Alex Joseph earning Best Goalkeeper. Tier 2 saw Small Business Owners excel, with Elias Maxius as Finals MVP and Aldanard Satney as Best Goalkeeper.
In Tier 1, Andrus Remy’s outstanding performance secured him Finals MVP, while Vino Barclett was recognized as Best Goalkeeper.
Tournament-wide, Wayne Ferdinand of the St. Lucia Fire Service was named Best Team Support Manager. Jahlil Evans from Rapid Ballerz led with 12 assists, and Andrus Remy finished as the top scorer with 17 goals and was honored as Tournament MVP.
As Corporate Warfare Futsal 2025 concluded, it celebrated not only success but also growth and resilience, raising the standard for future seasons.
