Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Preparations have begun towards next year\u2019s maiden amputee football world cup in Colombia.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ernestay Disability and Sports Foundation, founders of the first and only women\u2019s amputee football team in Ghana, has put together a set of programmes to keep the ladies in shape ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n

According to Ernest Yaw Ayisi, President of Ernestay Disability and Sports Foundation, and a former member of the men\u2019s amputee football team, the programmes are to ensure the ladies don\u2019t lose fitness and form ahead of the competition in November 2024.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want to wait till it\u2019s time before preparing. Women are not involved in the Sport so we need to keep them active till then,\u201d Ernest Ayisi disclosed.<\/p>\n

He indicated that, since the formation of the first female amputee football team in 2020, he has ensured that the players don\u2019t lose sight of the sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of them get married and start focusing on family, therefore losing interest. So regular activities would keep them focused,\u201d he reiterated.<\/p>\n

He called on Ghanaians to rally behind the team for glory at the first-ever women\u2019s amputee football World Cup.<\/p>\n

The World Amputee Football Federation (WAFF) has extended an invitation to member countries to participate in its maiden women\u2019s amputee football world cup scheduled to take place from November 2-11, 2024.<\/p>\n

Ghana is one of the countries participating in the competition as a result of the formation of a female team.<\/p>\n

The team participated in an election 2020 peace match at the Accra Academy School.<\/p>\n
