All roads in Kumasi will, on June 21 this year, lead to the Baba Yara
Stadium where a crunch football match will be played to raise funds
for charity.
Black Stars players and former national stars, forming one team, will
lock horns with a team of music stars and people from the creative
arts industry.
Ghana skipper Asamoah Gyan and Emmanuel Adebayor of Togo will be
playing for the musicians and creative arts team on the day.
Sammy Anim Addo, CEO of Asamoah Gyan Foundation, said the upcoming
event is dubbed ‘7thEdition of Stars Soccer Fiesta Reloaded
Competition.’
He announced that Agya Koo, Lil Win, Funny Face, Nana Ama McBrown,
Tinny, and Samini, among others, would play for the musicians and
creative arts team.
He said Dede Ayew, Sulley Muntari, Kwadwo Asamoah and stars from
Tottenham and Ivory Coast would play for the Black Stars and
ex-national stars squad.
Anim Addo was speaking at a press conference in Kumasi on Wednesday,
which was graced by Tinny, D Black and Kwaku Manu, among other stars.
People who will want to watch the game will be required to pay a feeat
the gate. The proceeds of the game shall be presented to the
underprivileged in society, including orphans and the aged.
The event is being sponsored by Asamoah Gyan Foundation, SEA
Foundation, Mama Vit and Gold Star Consult, Anim Addo disclosed.
He said before the match, a road show in which the stars would drive
in a convoy of flashy cars from Accra to Kumasi would take place on
June 20.
This year’s historic event, which will certainly attract massive
patronage, is under the theme, ‘Observing good sanitation practices
for better health.’
He announced that the stars wouldalso embark on a cleanup exercise in
Kumasi to educate the people to keep the environment tidy before the
game.
Right after the cleanup exercise onJune 21, the stars would donate to
charity in Kumasi before visiting the Baba Yara Stadium to competefor
honours, he added.
