Professional Footballers’ Association and Beach Soccer team donate essential items in Ghana
As the Covid-19 crisis continues to affect people and nations across the globe, from the apparent chaos have come numerous stories of kindness, generosity and humanity.
One such example can be found in West Africa, where the PFAG (Professional Footballers’ Association of Ghana) and the nation beach soccer team are joining forces to deliver vital supplies to those most in need.
Led by coach Ibrahim Tanko and former national team players Abukari Damba and Yusif Chibsah, with support from Beach Soccer Committee Chairman Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, Administrative Sec. Nana Poku Amankwah and CEO of Accra-based Layoca Beach Soccer Club, made the donations at the OPD of the Madina Polyclinic on Sunday morning.
The essential items were received by Dr Peter Gargah on behalf of the clinic and included facemasks, hand sanitizers, detergents, surgical gloves as well as thermometer guns.
The Deputy General Secretary of the PFAG, Mr Solomon Torson who has been leading a series of meetings with members, is confident that this effective action would be executed in all affected regions in due time.
CEO of Layoca Beach Soccer Club, Mr Davis Ollenu, reiterated Beach Soccer’s support of the PFAG and other organizations in their campaign to fight the pandemic.
Also in attendance was Madina-born former Black Stars goalkeeper Fatau Dauda.
Meanwhile Ghana Beach Soccer and the PFAG have rolled out an online “Stop the Spread” campaign with footballers, administrators and media personnel exposing the Covid-19 code to members of the public.
