B/A United links with Swedish-Kenyan clubs.

Brong-Ahafo United is in serious talks with the Swedish sports manager Anders Ljunggren from Kenyan Nation-wide league club Githurai Sportiff, to start collaboration between Brong-Ahafo United and one Swedish Premier club.

This deal was set-up by the CEO of ghanaweb Francis Akoto.

If this deal is sealed, the Ghanaian premier division side will get equipment support from Mr. Ljunggren. The equipments will be made donations from top Swedish clubs. This collaboration also opens the possibilities for B/A United players to visit Sweden on trial with top Swedish clubs.

?We are working hard to build up Githurai Sportiff, of Kenya, into a future club with their own clubhouse and a soccer academy for the youth players. So, if we start this collaboration with B/A United in Ghana it will help all partner involved and the Kenyan players might learn from the more technical style of football in Ghana.? Said Mr. Ljunggren

?And we like to develop this co-operation with B/A United and hope that some clubs in Scandinavia like to have BA/ United playing in their jerseys in Ghana? he added

?It is a very interesting task for me. Most European clubs are now in financial difficulties, so I believe that co-operation is the future for all clubs. And loaning of players will be the norm.? he concluded Brong-Ahafo United hope to speed up these talks and hope to agree on a deal soon.
