WEALA, Margibi County – Businessman and philanthropist Upjit Singh Sachdeva, popularly known as Jeety, has intensified support for Margibi County’s quest for national sporting glory, pledging substantial cash incentives to both the county’s male and female teams if they emerge champions of the ongoing 2025/2026 National County Sports Meet.
Jeety made the pledge during an engagement with the Margibi County Administration, the Margibi Sports Association, and players of both teams, promising LD$25,000 each to every player and member of the technical staff should either team lift the championship trophy. He further announced LD$10,000 each for players and technical staff who qualify from the semi-final stage, underscoring his belief that “winning—not second place—defines success.”
On the Field With the Team
The businessman’s commitment has gone beyond words. On Sunday, January 11, 2026, Jeety was visibly present at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex, cheering the Margibi teams from the stands while proudly dressed in Margibi fan gear. His presence, players say, boosted morale at a critical stage of the tournament.
“I was on the field yesterday, and I’m here again today,” Jeety told players. “As a proud Margibian, I am here to identify with you—through Jeety Rubber, Salala Rubber Corporation, and the Jeety Conglomerate.”
Immediate Support: Cash and Food Supplies
In addition to future incentives, Jeety made immediate contributions to ease preparations. He presented LD$200,000 in cash—LD$100,000 each to the women’s and men’s teams—and donated assorted food items valued at more than LD$100,000, including rice, chicken, fish, noodles, sardines, oil, and juices. The donation was handed over through the Margibi County Superintendent to ensure smooth distribution.
Jeety emphasized that the support was intended to remove financial pressure from the county and allow athletes to focus solely on performance.
County Applause and Motivation
Margibi County officials and sports administrators hailed the gesture as “intrusive motivation”—a rare blend of financial backing and personal presence. The Superintendent praised Jeety’s loyalty to Margibi and Liberia, noting that such partnerships between investors and communities are critical to national development.
The Margibi Sports Association also acknowledged the impact of the pledge, saying it has energized players and technical staff ahead of the decisive matches. With semi-final fixtures looming, the teams now carry not only county pride but a tangible reward for excellence.
Beyond Sports: A Track Record of Giving
Jeety’s engagement with Margibi County sports is part of a broader humanitarian footprint. Through Jeety Rubber and Salala Rubber Corporation, he has supported education initiatives, community welfare programs, and youth empowerment across Margibi, reinforcing his image as a hands-on investor committed to people-centered development.
As the National County Sports Meet reaches its climax, Margibi’s athletes head into battle with renewed confidence—backed by a benefactor who has put both his presence and resources behind their dream of lifting the cup.
