‘Save The Park Agenda’ a concerned youth group in Ashaiman have planned to go on a demonstration in October to make the government, and elders aware that they need a recreation ground and good sports facilities.
According to them, the government of the day, has been able to build astro turfs all over, but they are yet receive their share of the national cake.
Speaking to Dan K. Pobi ‘Okocha’ on Plan B FM’s Sports Show dubbed ‘Kawadwen’ on Wednesday September 25, 2024, leader of the group Hassan said the Ashaiman community has produced great footballers for Ghana and deserves to have some standardized pitches for the younger generation.
Hassan was concerned that the plethora of soccer talents in Ashaiman would remain untapped due to the absence of good pitches in the community.
“Ashaiman has produced a lot of good players for Ghana, including current Black Stars captain Thomas Partey. Majority of the youth here love to play soccer. A lot of the things that go on in the community could have been avoided as the youth would channel their energies into football but here lies the case where we do not even have an average field to play on. How can they be motivated to get into it? I’m not happy with the situation. We are calling on the authorities to do something about it or we hit the streets next month” he intimated
