Kalibi Sporting Club shower praises on Black Satellites, Black Princesses on making Ghanaians proud

Following the excellent performance of Ghana's Under-20 male and female teams in the just ended 13th All Africa Games in Accra, a Division Two club in the Upper West Region - Kalibi Sporting Club has congratulated the two teams for their stellar performance in the competition.

This was contained in a press release signed by Chief Executive Officer of the club - Mr. Kandumah John.

According to the statement, the feat chalked by the two sides comes as a "sigher of relief" to serve as a feeder for both the Black Queens and the Black Stars in future.

It is also the belief of the club that such performance by the teams would become a motivational factor to enable the GFA draw lessons and replicate in the other national teams going forward.

The Black Princesses on Thursday night saw off their Nigerian counterparts by 2-1 after coming from behind to win gold for Ghana whilst the Black Satellites also rose to the occasion the following day to pip Uganda by a loan goal to nil, courtesy a late strike, to snatch the gold medal.

Below is the full release
CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE TO THE BLACK PRINCESS AND BLACK SATELLITES OF GHANA FOR WINNING GOLD MEDALS IN THE 13TH AFRICAN GAMES 2023.

On behalf of the techinical team, playing body, management and supporters of Kalibi Sporting Club, I express our outmost congratulations to the above mentioned teams for their sterling exploits in the 13th African Games 2023.

The performance of these teams has given most Ghanaians some sigh of relief concerning the future of the Black Stars and Black Queens. The young lads brought smiles on to the faces of most football loving Ghanaians in the last few days.

It is our belief that the performance of these teams would be a motivation for the President of the Ghana Football Association, his Executive Council and the management Committee members of the various National teams to reflect on, so that we can replicate similar feat at the other National teams.

Our football can always get better if we focus on what we did well without forgetting of correcting what we could not do right.

GOD BLESS KALIBI SPORTING CLUB.
GOD BLESS UPPER WEST FOOTBALL.
GOD BLESS GHANA FOOTBALL.
KANDUMAH JOHN
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER.
