Inter Allies Star Koffie Wins Canadian Cup With Whitecaps

Ex-Inter Allies star midfielder Gershon Koffie has helped his MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps to clinch their first ever Voyageurs Cup.

Whitecaps defeated 10-men Montreal Impact 2-0 courtesy goals from Octavio Rivero and Tim Parker to seal a 4-2 aggregate win in the Amway Canadian Championship Final.

“The fans made it happen,” Koffie told the Press.

“I did great, I did what the coach asked me to do and we came out victorious.”

“It’s a great moment for me because I have been with the club for sometime now and this is my first trophy so am very happy.”

The 2015 Canadian Championship triumph will enable Gershon Koffie and his Vancouver Whitecaps participate in next season’s CONCACAF Champions League.

In Ghana, Inter Allies are performing well this season and this has caused some of the once popular and fearful clubs to languish in the relegation zone.

Allies now supply players to the national teams, like young star Clifford Aboagye who was World third best player at the 2013 World Youth Championship in Turkey.

Inter Allies Football Club was established in October 1996 as a nonprofit organization for kids to learn the skill of football after school sessions. Since then, the Club has been committed to the development of young talented kids who are transformed into professionals for eventual placement to top clubs in Ghana, Europe and worldwide.

The success of the Club is based on the principles of co-operation, trust, humility, discipline, effort and loyalty. We have been one of the most disciplined teams in Ghana.

Currently the Club has over 40 registered players and the ages of the players’ ranges between 16 to 24 years in the senior team. In addition there are 60 young players in the academy or development team that uses the identity of Accra Youth Soccer Academy.

Inter Allies FC and the Accra Youth Soccer Academy are based in Accra, the capital city of Ghana, but the youth side plays in the Division 2 league in Greater Accra Region of Ghana.

Inter Allies FC played in the Ghana Division One League for Five Years until they qualified for the premier league play offs that saw them beat all their opponents to qualify them to play in the Elite soccer division in the year 2013.
