A high level of soccer excellence has been on display at the 2016 edition of Nhyira FM-Genecure 4-4-2 Community gala currently underway at the Asem Park in Kumasi.

Sixteen teams vying for honours have kept spectators on the edge match after match, as they exhibit brilliance and team cohesion that can only be the envy of any world-class players and teams.

Suame, Krofrom, Santasi, Tech, Aboabo, Kwadaso and Amakom responded to the roll-call as participating teams ready to do their respective communities proud.

Others include Asafo, Ashanti New Town, Abrepo, Dichemso, Fante New Town, Adum, Old Tafo and Bantama.

The one-week tournament which began on Monday, saw Asemhene, Nana Ampofo Kyei -Baffour, set the tone for the teams with a symbolic kick-off at a colourful event where he starred as a Special Guest.

Former champions, Ahinsan beat Santasi on penalties to book a place at the last eight.

The quarter final stage which begins on Saturday April 30, 2016 will see Fante New Town take on Amakom while Bantama battles it out with Suame. Abrepo will come face to face with Amakom whilst Asafo and Adum also face Dichemso and Old Tafo.

There is a lot at stake for winners in this year’s competition.

The team that will emerge ultimate champions in this year’s competition takes home a Gh 2,000 prize money and a trophy with the first runner-up and second-runner going home with GH 1,000 and Gh 500 respectively.

The surprise, perhaps the most covetous package for the Rocare Nhyira FM-Genicure 4-4-2 sponsored Community Gala is the all-expenses paid trip to Brazil for the coach of the team that will emerge eventual winners.
