Retired Footballers Association wants active Black Stars to sponsor Oldies Leagu
The Retired Footballers in Ghana has made a
passionate appeal to active Black Stars players to
financially sponsor the Oldies League.

The 19-team league has been in session the last
two years with ex-internationals like Mohammed
Polo, Ibrahim Sunday and Awuley Quaye featuring.

This year Teshie Oldies won the league and will
officially be crowned league champions for the
2012/2013 season with a coronation match at the
Accra Stadium on Saturday.

Their reward is two balls, a trophy but no cash
prize.

Spokesperson for the Retired National Footballers
Association, Willie Klutse, a member of the 1978
Nations Cup winning, reiterated why the current
players must help the association.

“I want to appeal to our Black Stars captain
Asamoah Gyan, who always talks about the National
retired league, to come and help us
financially,” he told Accra-based Joy sports

“I will appeal to him to talk to his colleagues
for them to sow this seed into an association that
one day they will be part of, If they will even
contribute the surplus or coins in their pocket we
will take it and build the association.

“One day before they will retire their
contributions will be of their own benefits so
they should consider our appeal because we are
doing a lot for the old players and we need
support to take care of the old players.”
