Sri Lankan Sports TV Responds to SLSFA Allegations
Sri Lankan Sports TV Clarifies Allegations Regarding SLSFA Tournament Partnership
Sri Lankan Sports TV has always maintained a steadfast commitment to integrity and professionalism in its partnerships and operations. In light of recent baseless allegations made by Mr. Pubudu, former Secretary of the Sri Lanka Schools Football Association (SLSFA), we feel it is essential to set the record straight regarding our involvement as the official event partner for the Division I football tournament.
Fulfilling Our Responsibilities
As the official event partner, Sri Lankan Sports TV sponsored and organized the entire tournament, ensuring that every aspect was executed in alignment with the agreements made with SLSFA. Key highlights of our contribution include:
1. Effective Communication: Every decision regarding the tournament was communicated to the SLSFA through official letters.
2. Support to Participating Schools: We delivered footballs to all participating schools, fulfilling a commitment to provide the necessary equipment for the tournament.
3. Revenue Sharing: We allocated and paid 25% of the ticket revenue to the participating schools, demonstrating our commitment to ensuring they directly benefited from the tournament’s success.
It is unfortunate that Mr. Pubudu appears to lack clarity regarding the agreement value and other details, despite these being outlined and agreed upon beforehand.
Addressing Defamatory Allegations
The allegations made by Mr. Pubudu are not only misleading but also damaging to the reputation of Sri Lankan Sports TV. We have taken legal action to address this matter, including the issuance of a Letter of Demand. Such defamatory statements undermine the collaborative spirit required to promote sports in Sri Lanka.
Commitment to Sri Lankan Sports
Sri Lankan Sports TV has fulfilled every obligation as per the agreements with SLSFA, ensuring the successful execution of the Division I tournament. We take pride in our role in elevating sports in Sri Lanka and remain dedicated to delivering quality events and unbiased coverage.
We thank our viewers, partners, and stakeholders for their continued trust and support and encourage all parties to focus on fostering unity and progress in Sri Lankan sports.
