Kwesi Nyantakyi promises more Wafu competitions
Re-elected West African Football Union (Zone B) president Kwesi Nyantakyi has promised to keep member countries busy with more competitions next year.
The 44-year-old whose mandate has been extended by two more years after standing unchallenged during the body's 12th Ordinary General Assembly wants to organize more competitions.
Nyantakyi played a key in securing a US$ 200,000 sponsorship deal from South African-based Pay TV channel SuperSport for the Wafu Nations Cup.
This year, hosts Ghana will face Senegal in the final of the GOtv Wafu Nations Cup which will be played at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.
”I am happy to inform delegates that our annual Wafu competitions have come to stay. In spite of our limited financial resources we are determined to making it successful every year,” Nyantakyi told delegates.
“We have negotiated a sponsorship agreement with SuperSport to cover the Wafu Cup for the next three years.
“Under the agreement SuperSport will pay Wafu an annual fee of US$ 200,000 to organize two competitions – a Nations Cup competition and a clubs championship.
”The Wafu Nations Cup will be dedicated to competitions for the senior teams for men and women and the youth or age group competitions.
