On 10th May, I had the honour of joining my brother and Deputy Minority Chief Whip, Hon. Habib Iddrisu, together with colleague Members of Parliament, at the grand finale of the maiden SoYalana Gala Tournament at the Tolon Astro-Turf.
It was truly inspiring to witness the incredible display of talent, discipline, unity, and sportsmanship from the participating teams. I was particularly delighted to present awards to some of the outstanding players and winning teams whose hard work and dedication lit up the competition.
Congratulations to Tolon A for emerging champions, as well as all participating teams for making the tournament memorable.
I commend Hon. Habib Iddrisu for this remarkable initiative to promote grassroots football and empower the youth in the Northern Region. The level of investment, motivation, and support shown through the tournament sets a new standard for community sports development in Ghana.
Together with Hon. Dominic Nitiwul, Hon. Mustapha Ussif, Dr. Adam Mohammed Amin Anta, party executives, football administrators, and supporters, we celebrated a vision that continues to inspire hope and opportunity for the next generation.
The future of Ghana football is bright, and initiatives like this will continue to nurture talent and transform lives.
