Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Accra, Nov 22, GNA-The Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) has presented a cheque for One Hundred Thousand Ghana Cedis GH\u00a2 100, 000. 00) to the Ghana League Clubs Association\u2019s (GHALCA) in support of the development of women\u2019s football in the country.<\/p>\n

The donation was in fulfilment of the Bank\u2019s pledge at a fund raising event under the auspices of the First Lady Mrs. Rebecca Akufo-Addo for corporate Ghana to contribute towards the development of Women\u2019s Football as well as the establishment of the First Women\u2019s School of Soccer Excellence in West Africa and the inaugural edition of the First Lady\u2019s Cup.<\/p>\n

Presenting the cheque at the Bank’s Head Office in Accra, the ADB Managing Director, Dr. John Kofi Mensah said, the donation was part of the Bank\u2019s Corporate Social Responsibility to support sports especially women sports to positively impact society.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe support the call by the First Lady, for Corporate Ghana to support the development of women football in the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to Dr. Kofi Mensah, women football equally deserved the same attention as men football since it was an avenue for more women to influence society and serve as role model in their various localities.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as many young men have become impactful in society as a result of playing football, giving equal attention to female football will also create more role models in our society,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Mensah pledged the commitment of the Bank to support other areas of interest to ensure female football also developed up to an enviable level just like that of their male counterparts.<\/p>\n

The President of GHALCA, Mr. Kudjoe Fianoo commended the Bank for the gesture and assured the Management of the Bank that the funds would be utilized for its intended purpose.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to commit the funds into the development of women football in the country to make sure we reap from it as a nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At a ceremony last month, The First Lady raised over one million cedis (GH\u00a2 1,250,000) for the development of women’s football in the country through cash and pledges from Individuals and Corporate Organizations.<\/p>\n
