B.A. United seeking financial help

Brong Ahafo United Football Club has called for a broad based financial support from supporters of the club both within and outside the country in order to help the club win the league this year. Mr Kwame Ntow-Fianko, Accra representative of the club, made the appeal when speaking in an interview on Monday about problems facing the club. He said in spite their financial handicap, the club was able to qualify for the premier league and is doing well and expressed the hope that with little support from all their supporters they can win the league.

"We have the players and if we can get at least a minimum sponsorship of ?20 million a month to settle the salaries of our players, the league would be ours". He commended their supporters for rallying behind the club all these years and urged them to continue with such support. On ways of attracting sponsorship and generating money for the club, Mr Ntow Fianko said the club now has a web site and their supporters outside the country are aware of their recent performance.

He said it is in the light of this that they have requested for videotapes of their matches especially the gala tapes in order to use them to secure sponsorship for the club. He expressed the hope that if this goes through then the club would be on the verge of achieving greater success. Brong Ahafo United popularly known as "apostles of power soccer," are currently fourth on the Premier League table, in the six-week old 30-week competition.
