Speaking at the event, Mr. Mustapha Ussif, the Minister of Youth and Sports (MoYS) commended the organisers of the tournament for the standard of the competition for the past eight years.

“The two key objectives of the Ramadan Cup, which I believe has been achieved, is to celebrate our iconic father, our national Chief Imam and also bring the youth in our various Zongo communities and other communities within our country together,” he added.

Mr. Ussif, who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Yagaba-Kubori reiterated the government’s commitment to develop and invest in sports, having completed 125 astroturfs in communities throughout the country.

The minister urged the participating teams to give off their best in the competition which serves as a road map for making their dreams of becoming professional footballers possible.

Mr. Umar Farouk Aliu Mahama, Member of Parliament for Yendi constituency, who was the Chairman of the occasion said the Ramadan Cup offers the opportunity to promote peace among Zongo communities in Ghana.

He pledged to support the competition with an amount of GHC10,000.

Mr. Tamimu Issah, Deputy Communication Director at the Office of the Vice President and founder of the Ramadan Cup thanked the stakeholders who had supported the competition to reach the level they had been longing for.
