A major football event is coming to Independence Park on January 2, as Jingle Ball 2026 brings together the football community for an evening of sport, fun and entertainment.

Described as SVG’s number one Christmas season sporting event, Jingle Ball 2026 will feature two football matches along with additional entertainment for patrons.

The first match, scheduled for 5 p.m., will see the Local Schools All Stars take on the Foreign College All Stars. The second match, beginning at 6 p.m., will feature the Local Masters facing off against the Foreign Based Masters.

In addition to the on-field action, patrons will be treated to a parliamentarians and celebrities skills challenge, and for the first time, a big bingo event.

The event will be hosted by Domo and Chowda, with musical entertainment provided by DJ Blaze, DJ Q and Snypa, Tha Fugitive and ZJ Tuffa.

“St Vincent and the Grenadines, as you know, Jingle Ball is about sport, fun and entertainment, and you will experience all of this at this year’s event,” said event organiser Renson Haynes. “It is regarded as the biggest holiday season sports event in SVG, and we would not disappoint. We look forward to seeing and hosting you.”

Admission is $10, and organisers are encouraging the public to come out early for an evening of football and festive entertainment.
