“We’ve come a long way, it was a good game of soccer [beach] we witnessed between these two teams. We’ve made so much progress and now it’s time to take beach soccer to several other coastal areas and beyond”, Mr Ampofo Ankrah said.
He also called on the support of the government and the sports ministry, as well as corporate entities, to help improve Beach Soccer infrastructures.
“The coastal areas need arenas for this game. Ada has got one, but we need some at Prampram, Cape Coast, Senya, Takoradi, and many other places”.
