Black Stars midfielder Mohammed Kudus has indicated that he is satisfied that the basic football needs of neighbourhoods in Nima-suburb of Ghana’s capital, Accra, have been catered for.
He said this in an interview after overseeing the distribution of footballs, football boots and bibs to teams that participated in the Bazaki Football Tournament.
Kudus is an ambassador of sports apparel company Skechers and partnered with the firm to host the tournament that featured several young talented players drawn from the neighbourhood the West Ham United player comes from.
“I will have a very big satisfaction because that is the point of this tournament; trying to provide for the basic needs they need to play.
