Former Ghanaian President John Mahama has generously contributed $10,000 to the Ghana amputee national football team, acknowledging their outstanding victory in clinching the Amputee Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Known as the Black Challenge, the team proudly presented their trophy to the ex-President at his residence following their triumphant performance in Egypt.
Defeating Morocco 2-1 in the final showdown in Cairo, they secured their second consecutive AFCON title, demonstrating their remarkable skill and resilience.
Mahama’s donation symbolizes his appreciation for the team’s dedication, accompanied by a pledge of enhanced support if he assumes the presidency once again.
“We must not only focus on just the senior national team (Black Stars)… we should also invest in teams like yours so that you can continue to make Ghana proud,” John Mahama said.
“Even though you didn’t see me before you left for the tournament, I have a little gift for you of $10,000 to be shared amongst the players. I know that you went through some challenges in the tournament.
“I’ll continue to take interest in what you do. As the presidential candidate of the NDC party, I wish to assure you that when I become President of the country I will not forget the Amputee Football team.
“We will give you the assistance that you need to retain your trophy and even win more laurels for us.”
