The headline sponsor of the ongoing 2008 African Cup of Nations MTN, has presented 600 tickets to some disabled persons in Accra to enable them to witness Ghana's matches in the tournament.
The mobile telecommunication company presented 120 tickets each to the Ghana Society for the Physically Challenged and the Association of Sports for the Disabled. The remaining 360 tickets went to other disadvantaged persons who were selected in consultation with some Accra-based radio stations.
The Corporate Services Executive of MTN Ghana, Ms. Mawuena Dumor, said the presentation formed part of her company's commitment towards the development of sports in Ghana and Africa for that matter.
She said the gesture presents a fine opportunity for the beneficiaries, who would have gone without it, and also to have a real feel of football in the stadium and to see their soccer idols.
"For many football fans in Ghana, the only chance they have to see their favourite football stars in action is through television. Having drawn all our stars to Ghana, it is important to increase the chances of fans seeing their stars. It is our expectation that the 600 fortunate fans will enjoy the classic feast of football which is unfolding right here in Ghana," she explained.
Ms Dumor further said that MTN was very proud of her achievements in Ghana and was ready to build stronger relationships with the people as part of their corporate objectives.
