She explained as the rationale for selecting the beneficiary teams, the President of Soccer For Dreamers,<\/p>\n\n\n\n “The objective of this initiative is to support all players everywhere irrespective of their where they are. For the first time, we had a disability team benefitting because we have been following the exploits in disability football and we are excited to provide our widow’s mite to support them,” Mrs Akwaboah said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since its inception, the partnership has educated female footballers on menstrual hygiene and, at every event, distributed menstrual cups to support and help the players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nike branded water bottles, Redbulls T-shirts, Redbulls Leipzig jerseys and jackets donated by New York Redbulls Academy were given to every player. \u201cSoccer For Dreamers is an inclusive organisation. We started by making sure women\u2019s football was not left out, then combating menstrual poverty. We gave to skate soccer players last year, so when we realised there was a need with the amputee football team, it was a no brainer. We wanted to help where we could and we are happy we have been able to do just that\u201d said Mrs. Akwaboah<\/p>\n\n\n\n The players and their coaches commended and congratulated Soccer For Dreamers for their presents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Soccer For Dreamers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is an initiative by three brothers – Baruch, Jed and Kayden Akwaboah- who play school Soccer in the USA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is their way of supporting young footballers in Ghana who are dreaming of making something meaningful out of the sport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Sammy Heywood Okine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Soccer For Dreamers in partnership with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Friday, July 12…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":18914,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,5,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","category-home","category-live-sports"],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/ultimatesportsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/450565881_1125305488538015_8272816494376676996_n-1024x582.jpg\")
