Jeety Rubber and its subsidiary, Salala Rubber Corporation, have donated 300, 000 Liberian Dollars to the Margibi Sports Association in appreciation of qualifying for the semi-final of the National County Sports Meet 2025/2026. The donation, made by business tycoon Upjit Singh Sachdeva, who owns both companies, comes as Margibi prepares to face Nimba and Grand Kru Counties in blockbuster semi-final matches on January 14, 2026, at the SKD Sports Stadium.
The kickball game between Margibi and Grand Kru is scheduled for 2:00 PM, while the football match between Nimba and Margibi will kick off at 5:00 PM. According to the companies, the LD300, 000 donation will be distributed equally among Margibi’s teams, with LD100,000 allocated to the kickball team, LD100,000 to the football team, and LD100,000 in assorted food items to support both squads during their intensive preparation.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony, Mr. Sachdeva, widely known as Jeety, noted that the gesture is part of his companies’ commitment to supporting sports development in Margibi County. “We are delighted to make this contribution to the Margibi Sports Association,” Mr. Jeety stated. “Their qualification for the semi-final is a tremendous achievement that deserves recognition.
