Soccer fiesta returns with a big bang! It
is the third edition of the series and as usual, proudly brought to you by TLE
Connect at Bagabaga School Of Education(BATCO) at 7am on 25th July.
As it was with the previous fiestas, this
year’s is all about creating avenues for the youth to ease off stress from work
and network with colleagues from all walks of life…and people with no social
life, like me! The organizers of the event are committed to supporting the
underprivileged in society through sports and recreation.
What to expect in this year’s edition?
This year is a whole different level as the organizers have up’d the ante. There will be a curtain raiser match between the
ladies of ThinkAfrik and N.E.S.I
(Northern Education Support Initiative). This year has eight teams; Zola Fc, The Jackson Team, Mega4ce, Highlife
Nation, Kritz Fc, Brotherhood Fc, Nyebli Tactics, and Lagkara Squad.
Team Profiles:
THINKAFRIK
LADIES:
Captained by HIKIMA and coached by NAT
BONGO, the ladies of ThinkAfrik are the best at attacking, striking and
defence that the metropolis has ever seen. They have shown so much commitment
to putting out their very best against the other team, especially in way they
train. Their official colours are White with the ThinkAfrik insignia on their
jerseys. Their motto is Converting Passion to Profits. #Jointhedream.
NESI
LADIES:
Founded and led by Perfectual Linnan, the Northern Education Support Initiative is
geared towards improving on the quality of education in the three Northern
Regions of Ghana. They seek to help uplift the face of education in these regions
by assisting the schools and pupils with basic educational materials and more
importantly, motivational and counseling sessions.
ZOLA
HOOD FC:
Headed by Hammer and captained by Wadusty
DeKing, Zola Hood FC is a football club which was established in the year
2012. The club consists of two neighbourhoods in the metropolis (Zogbeli and
Lamakara) and it is well known for its unbeaten records in all the games
they’ve participated in, with eight trophies to their name. Their traditional
colours are Blue and Pink (Home) and Red and White (Away). It is a team that
attracts people whenever they are on the field. Unity is their hallmark.
NYEBLI
TACTICS:
Coached by Ibn Arimi and captained by Nana
Kyei, this Tamale based football club has an unbeaten record in the Soccer
Fiesta football games since its inception. It was founded in 2014 by an
anonymous business mogul from Dubai…Lol!
Their traditional colours are Red and White (Home) and Black (Away).
MEGA4CE
FC:
Coached by Uncle Santa and captained by Obed
(Virgin OB), and Kel, this
Tamale based event organising house comes along with multi –talented players
across the globe. Strong in all areas; from technical to defence to attack to
striking, this team comes with their own set of cheerleaders. Team colours include
Red, Black, Lemon, Green, and Yellow. Their motto is the Force behind
Conceptually Creative and Innovative Events.
LAGKARA
FC (LGK):
Led by Coach Prynz Rio, and captained by Muzamil
‘El Chapo’ Paedae, LAGKARA FC is made up of very ambitious young men with a
passion for the beautiful game of football. It was founded in 2012. Unbeaten in
competitive soccer fiesta games, as it is for every team on this list…I wonder
who usually takes the last position then…lol. Traditional colours are Red and
White but they will be using a new kit at this year’s Soccer Fiesta. The club
is currently on pre-season tour in Spain.
THE
JACKSON TEAM:
This team claims that they will be walking
away with this year’s Soccer Fiesta cup, more grease to their elbows.
KRITZ
FC:
Kritz Fc is one team that looks like they
will be a pain in the butt for the other teams. They move very slowly but are a
deadly bunch when it comes to attack and defensive play. Fortunately, they do
not always ‘park the bus’.
BROTHERHOOD
FC:
Just like the name says, this group of
young and talented footballers may come off like scattered sheep-no offence-
but they have this unbelievable telepathic bond they play that their opponents
would not know what hit them until it’s over.
HIGHLIFE
NATION:
You may think by their name that they are
very old people…nah. They are very boisterous; they run like a cheetah and when
they are on the ball, mehn, you can only sit back and drool.
OTHER
ACTIVITIES:
For the non-soccer fans, there are other
gams for you to play or watch. There will be Table Tennis, Scrabble, Owar3,
Draught, FIFA’15, and many others to catch your fancy. Also, Marie Stopes, one
of the sponsors of the fiesta, will be coming along with products to distribute
to the teams and the audience.
There will be non-monetary donations
(books, pens, uniforms, footballs, etc.) taken from the teams and the audience
which will be presented to a charity after the show is done. So the teams are
required to put together something, and the audience are asked to donate as
well.
Soccer Fiesta is proudly brought to you by Voltic Ghana, The Bryma Show, Marie Stopes, Guiness Ghana, P.K Gombilla, Wear Nation, Tarch House, ThinkAfrik, Shekinah Bakery, Kaje Nutri Sobolo
Y'all beter be there! Imma be there too!
