The annual Sheikh Sharubutu Ramadan Cup has been officially launched at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.
Attendees included the Minister for Sports, Hon. Mustapha Ussif, the General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Prosper Harrison Addo, and the Head Coach of the Black Meteors, Ibrahim Tanko.
Farouk Aliu Mahama, Member of Parliament for Yendi, chaired the event. Tanko, fresh from guiding the Meteors to Afcon U-20 qualification, promised to provide the trophy for this year’s edition.
Tamimu Issah, who came up with the idea for the Ramadan Cup eight years ago, emphasized that the tournament is open to all, not just Muslims.
Present at the ceremony was the Minister for Youth and Sports, who officially launched the tournament, which will feature 30 Zongo communities from various parts of the country.
At the launch, a draw was also conducted for the preliminary stage of the competition, which will be played on April 29 and 30 after Ramadan.
