Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports, Evans Bobie Opoku, has stated that the objective of the Democracy Cup has been achieved.
He said this after the maiden edition of the Democracy Cup that was organized as part of activities marking the 30th anniversary of democratic governance in Ghana.
A special game between a select side from Ghana’s Parliament and former members of Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team-the Black Stars- was played as a curtain raiser to the main game between Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The select side from Ghana’s Parliament won the game 3-1 and Honourable Bobie, who bemoaned the poor nature of the Accra Stadium pitch, stated that the objective for organizing the event was achieved. (Click highlighted text to read full report)
