Polo FC win ASK Foundation Under 13 League

The Mallam Mustapha Park
in the Islamic Education Institute at Nima was the action spot last Saturday
when six juvenile clubs gathered for the grand finale and honours day after
participating in the African Sports Kids Foundation Under 13 League which began
on September 28, 2013 to December 14, 2013.
Polo FC who exhibited
wonderful football talents won the exciting competition that attracted kids,
youth and the elderly to watch proceedings.
Special guest of Honour Rev.
Osei Kofi, a retired national footballer who has played two times at the
Olympic Games adviced the winners and participants to take football serious if
they want to earn something from it.
He told them to take
their education serious and respect the elderly. He noted that if they are
disciplined, they can go anywhere and mingle with big personalities in society.
The Chief of Nima, Nii
Futah also urged the ASK Foundation to maintain and sustain the programme a it
is a positive initiative to get children in school and allow them to do sports.
Little sensation Enoch
Otoo of Polo FC was voted the best player. The smallish rising star was a
delight to watch dribbling the big boys and being kicked left and right, but
was bold and strong to get up and play again.
Otoo is certainly a star
in the making and the ASK Foundation has promised to monitor him and if
possible link him to a football academy like all the players who were selected
after the league.
Some institutions and
organisations that have supported the ASK Foundation are Print Court Media,
Also supporting the idea
are the Ministry of Youth & Sports, the Ghana Football Association and the
Professional Footballers Association who have donated balls to be presented to
the participants and winners, the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG)
and the Ghana Beach Soccer Association (GBSA)
The participating teams
were Polo Football Club (Kotobabi) who automatically won the league even before
the finals because they acquired massive points, follow by Nima Amighty Kiitos
FC, Legon All Stars, Heroes FC, Dynamic FC and Assyriska Football Club.
Mustapha Mohammed,
President of the ASK Foundation said the Brazil Soccer Academy and other partners
in the United Kingdom are very mush impressed with the organization and hope to
support them in the new future.
