Former Ghana defender, Samuel Inkoom, on Friday surprised the people of Ahanta when he stormed Ahanta SportyFest 2024 being organized at the Aboadi, Nana Etsin Kofi Park in Ahanta West Municipality of Western Region
The player was heading towards Nzema through Agona Nkwanta, the capital of Ahanta West Municipality to witness other sporting activities, but made a whistle stop to witness the maiden edition of the Ahanta Sporty Festival.
The Sporty Festival is a three-day sporting festival being organized by the parliamentary candidate of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ahanta West area Kuukua Bissue to unearth talents in Ahanta West through activities within the sporting arena.
The former Black Stars defender, who was on his way to Nzema to witness similar events being organized to hunt for talents, immediately stopped to officially witness the Ahanta Sporty Festival which is first of its kind in Ahanta.
Speaking to journalists shortly after spending time to watch some of the matches played, the under 20 World Cup winner, said he was impressed with the talents being showcased by the energetic youth of Ahanta, and promised to work with the parliamentary candidate to promote soccer and other sporting activities in the area.
He said his agency, S-Inkoom Football Management Agency (SIFMA), a pioneering initiative aimed at reshaping the future of young Ghanaian footballers is actually dedicated to equipping young players with the knowledge and support they require to navigate through the complex world of professional football and contracts.
Consequently, he assured the people of Ahanta of his preparedness to engage the various teams on discovery of talents, player management, contract negotiations, and the comprehensive development of young prospects within the Ahanta enclave.
He described the initiative of the parliamentary candidate as unique and appetizing, and that it will require the support of many for talents in the area to be harnessed adequately.
“She has done well. We need to support her. My agency is dedicated to equipping young players, and so we will work with her. I was just passing, and I saw the crowd at the festival ground, so I decided to stop by and to witness what was happening, only to discover that a lot of talents are being displayed here. She (Kuukua Bissue) needs the support of everyone” he emphasized.
The NDC 2024 aspiring Member of Parliament for Ahanta West Constituency, Kuukua Bissue, lauded the football agent for supporting her dream to unearth talents in Ahanta.
She called for collaboration with the S-Inkoom Football Management Agency (SIFMA) to work in earnest in harnessing the abundance of talents Ahanta is endowed with through the tournaments and other sporting activities she intends to organize in the constituency.
Kuukua Bissue revealed that in August 2024, she will unveil her program for athletics in the constituency and asked for support from the people of Ahanta to actualize all these beautiful sporting dreams.
She also explained her desire to represent the people of Ahanta in the August house of Parliament and called for massive support in this regard.
She said her victory in the impending December polls will manifest her commitment and determination to serve the people of Ahanta.
She, therefore, appealed to the electorates to vote massively for her to secure victory and the nod to serve the people of Ahanta West Constituency.
Meanwhile, at the opening of the Sporty Festival on Friday, 29th March 2024, eight teams competed in an opening session of a galla to determine winners and losers ahead of the grand finale.
The teams were, Apowa Youth FC, GREL Soccer Academy, Abura Dixcove Sports Club, Agona Ahanta FC, Ahanta Soccer Believers, Kwamekrom Apemanyiman United, Asemyefo FC, Aketenkyi Aboadiman FC among others.
