KINGSTON, Jamaica — The 40th edition of the Bell/Zaide Memorial Football Festival is set to take place on Heroes Day, Monday, October 20, at Winchester Park. This year’s event will feature notable participants, including former national football player Walter Boyd and renowned entertainer Aidonia. Both confirmed their involvement after being approached by organizer Clive ‘Busy’ Campbell during the Reggae Boyz match against Bermuda. The festival, which supports various charitable causes, may mark its final iteration due to rising venue and security costs. Campbell expressed his intention to collaborate with the Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) to preserve the legacy of the event and its honourees. He emphasized his commitment to aiding basic schools, stating, ‘In life, everybody needs help sometimes.’ The festival commemorates Jackie Bell and Dennis Ziadie, two Jamaican football legends who tragically passed away during the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. This year’s honourees include Douglas Bell, Andrew Price, Neville Granville, Karl Tyrell, and Ronald Watson. Four teams will compete: Masters and Celebrities, Christian Ambassadors, St George’s Old Boys, and Referees XI. The Masters and Celebrities team will feature Laa Lee, Jahshii, Nesbeth, Boyd, and Aidonia, while the Referees XI will include Karl Tyrell, Oshane Nation, Carvel Banton, Alexi Perry, and Jassett Kerr.
