NOV 26, 2015 LISTEN

Asamoah Gyan in his quest to give back to the society put axe to the ground on Thursday during a brief ceremony for the construction of an Astro Turf which will cost him GHC 700, 000 for his alma mater, Accra Academy.

This project is in fulfillment of a promise Gyan gave the management of Accra Academy when he visited the school some months ago.

According the project coordinator, the multi-purposed Astro Turf will comprise a 3, 000 metre artificial turf which has been imported from Turkey, a tartan track, a changing room and a flood light. This facility will be fenced to prevent an unauthorized usage.

The project will cost Asamoah Gyan a whooping sum of GHC 700, 000 to help develop talent at the school he was mentored by J.E Sarpong, the coach of Ebusua Dwarfs from 1999 to 2002 when he was a student.

The imported artificial turf will land in Ghana on 30 January, 2015 and it is expected to be completed in early May.
