Vice President and New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has generously donated $10,000 to Sekondi Hasaacas Ladies. This contribution aims to support the team as they prepare for the 2024 CAF Women’s Champions League in Ivory Coast.
Hasaacas Ladies earned the right to represent Ghana in the tournament after their victory in the 2023-2024 Ghana Women’s Premier League. Dr. Bawumia’s aide, Tamimu Issah, handed over the donation to the team’s management in Accra on Tuesday, along with the Vice President’s best wishes for their upcoming matches.
The financial support from Dr. Bawumia comes at a crucial time, helping to cover the significant expenses required for the tournament. The Chief Executive Officer of Hasaacas Ladies, Nanabanyin Eyison, expressed gratitude on behalf of the team, acknowledging Dr. Bawumia’s ongoing support.
This isn’t the first instance of Dr. Bawumia aiding Hasaacas Ladies or women’s football in Ghana. He has consistently provided financial assistance to the Ghanaian Women’s Premier League champions participating in the CAF Women’s Champions League over the years. Notably, he supported Hasaacas Ladies during their maiden appearance in the CAF Women’s Champions League four years ago and has continued to support them and other league champions, such as Ampem Darkoa Ladies, annually.
Dr. Bawumia has also sponsored the SWAG Female Footballer of the Year award for the past three years, offering cash prizes to the winners.
Hasaacas Ladies will compete against Edo Queens, Burkina Faso’s Omnisports Etincelle, and Niger’s AS Garde Nationale in their group stage matches.
