Electronic giants, Binatone the title sponsor of Skate soccer in collaboration of International Federation of Skate soccer (IFSS), last Saturday donated food items to the national skate soccer team, the Rolling Rockets, to mark the celebration of Ramadan in a short presentation ceremony at Abossey Okai in Accra.

The items which included rice, oil, meat and tomato paste was given to each member of the team to break their one month fasting and prayers.

“These are little tokens from us to you and we believe it will help you mark and celebrate the end of Ramadan. My outfit will do everything possible to develop skate soccer in the country as we have been doing already,” Mr Babu said in his address.

The president of the International Federation of Skate Soccer (IFSS), Albert Frimpong took the opportunity to thank the Binatone Group for their immense support to the sport ever since they decided to help promote it in the country and also asked the players to pray for the federation as they observe the Ramadan.
