Abla Dzifa Gomashie Donates GH¢12,500 to Ketu South Football Association Following U-17 Title Win

Abla Dzifa Gomashie, the Member of Parliament for Ketu South, has presented a donation of GH,500 to the Ketu South Municipal Football Association to celebrate the district's recent triumph in the Inter-District U-17 Championship. The financial support is split into two strategic components: GH10,000 dedicated to long-term football development programs within the municipality and GH2,500 as a direct reward to the team for their achievement on the pitch. The donation aims to bolster the association's capacity to manage local talent while rewarding the hard work of the young athletes.

The donation follows an impressive performance by the Ketu South U-17 team, which clinched the championship title after a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Nkwanta South District in the final match. Held in Ho from August 20 to 23, 2026, the tournament featured competitive youth teams from nine different districts across the region. This victory marks a significant milestone for the municipality, signaling a high standard of youth football and the potential for future professional growth among the players involved.

Representing the Member of Parliament during the presentation, her aide, Mr. David Doe, conveyed Ms. Gomashie’s pride in the team’s accomplishment and reiterated her unwavering commitment to nurturing young talent. He emphasized that such victories are a testament to the potential within the district and underscored the importance of providing young people with platforms to excel. Mr. Barson Foli, Chairman of the Ketu South Municipal Football Association, expressed profound gratitude for the donation, noting that the funds would be instrumental in improving administrative operations, managing logistics, and enhancing the overall welfare of the players.

As the association looks toward the future, the GH10,000 development fund is expected to provide a foundation for scouting and training the next generation of football stars in Ketu South. By addressing immediate logistical challenges and investing in grassroots talent, the donation ensures that the district remains a competitive force in regional youth sports. This initiative highlights the critical role of local leadership in supporting sports as a tool for youth empowerment and community development.
