Sunyani Division One Clubs commend philanthropist
The Managements of B.A United, Bofoakwa Tano, and
Young Apostles Football Clubs in the National
Division One League have commended Mr.






Ransford Antwi, a philanthropist for his efforts
to enhance quality footballing activities in the
country.

According to them, Mr. Antwi who is the Founder
and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the
Sunyani-based Suncity Radio has solely financed
the construction of a permanent football tunnel
and other facilities at the Sunyani Coronation
Park.

This was contained in a press release jointly
signed by the Administrative Managers and Head of
Communications and the CEO of the B.A United,
Bofoakwa Tano and Young Apostles respectively and
copied the Ghana News Agency in Sunyani.

"As clubs, we are gratified by your kind gesture
to solely finance the construction of a permanent
football tunnel and renovation of the reserve
benches at the Sunyani Coronation Park as per the
Club Licensing Board's standard", the release
said.




That gesture would extremely contribute to the
progress of the National Division One League in
the Bono Region and Ghana in general, it said.

It stated that singular initiative of Mr. Antwi, a
former CEO of B.A. United has influenced a
decision for approval of the Coronation Park by
the Club Licensing Board of the Ghana Football
Association as a befitting ground for the three
clubs to play their home matches.

When contacted, Mr. Antwi said he was motivated to
finance that project at about GhC30,000.00 because
sporting activities in Sunyani were avenues that
boosted small-scale trading activities.

He cited iced-water sellers and other prepared
food vendors whose livelihoods depended only on
such small businesses received very high patronage
on the weekends and mid-weeks when football
matches were played.
