SANFORD WORLD CLINIC BLOWS GHC1.1MILLION INTO WOMEN FA CUP COMPITETION


THE PARROTS can confirm the signing of a four years sponsorship deal between the Ghana Football Association and Sanford world clinic at a press conference held  GFA's secretariat last Tuesday.
The marriage which is taking care of the Women FA Cup competition is worth GHC 1.1 million.

 The Women FA Cup competition which was introduced to the Ghanaian football calendar not long is  currently at the round of 16 stage and team mates will be making merry as the newly reported deal will fetch them some monies.

  Dr. Kojo Benjamin Taylor, President for Sanford World Clinic,revealed that their decision to partner the GFA and to support women’s football in particular means more to them than just being a fulfillment of their social responsibility.

 According to him, 70 percent of the patients and visitors to their health facility are women so they deem it as an obligation to help develop women football and invest in the lives of girls who are playing football.

 “I have seen a women’s football match and its quite motivating. The first time I saw them play I was amazed at the display of talent shown by the young girls. I must admit I didn’t expect that”, Mr. Taylor added.

 GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi who endorsed the agreement on behalf of the Association, was excited to seeing Sanford World Clinic extending a helping hand to the GFA in its quest to developing the talents of the young  girls.

 President Kwesi Nyantakyi continued by describing the sponsorship agreement as a historic one since it’s the first time a women’s football competition is getting sponsorship in Ghana.
“Its my hope that this will go a long way to ameliorate the burden on those who manage women football clubs so that they can continue to develop women football in the country”

“Ghana has a huge potential in women’s football. The Black Queens were the first to qualify to the world cup seven years before the men achieved the same feat.

The Black Maidens were the first African female U-17 team to win bronze at the World Cup so if we pay more attention to it they will continue to bring honor to our country", the GFA Boss added.
A cheque worth GH¢200,000 was handed to the GFA, being the first tranche of the sponsorship package with another two tranches to be paid within the next four years.

Bulldog has spoken out on his acrimonious break-up with former top act Shatta Wale, who he managed for years until they abruptly ended their relationship. The whole messy break-up was interspersed with threats of violence and exposing nude photos and the like. Speaking on Hitz Fm Wednesday, Bulldog revealed that contrary to most reports, the break-up had nothing to do with money, but instead with the threats Shatta Wale made against his wife. Bulldog said when he heard Shatta Wale was threatening to release the nude photos of his wife, he knew at that point that their working relationship was over.“At the time, I had gotten information that he had my wife’s naked picture and that’s not a joke… The only reason I broke up with Shatta was my family; nothing else. I’m not money conscious. I have worked with people for free” he said. Bulldog said he just wants to set the record straight about the split. Source: ghanacelebrities.com
