REPORTS: Ghana to host WAFU U17 championship
According to reports by Ghanasoccernet, Ghana is among the two countries being considered to get the unique chance of hosting the West Africa Football Union ‘B’ U17 Championship next month.
The Ghana Football Assocation (GFA) has been shortlisted alongside Niger for the chance of hosting the seven countries in the region for the youth competition.
The two countries have been asked to present their files to be considered for the chance of hosting the regional competition which is fully funded by the organisers.
West Africa Football Union B (WAFU B) secretariat in Ivory Coast is expected to contact the GFA in the coming hours to give Ghana the chance of hosting the competition.
Landing the rights to host the competition would be a massive boost for sports in Ghana as it gives the country the chance to show it prowess to the continent.
It also gives Ghana the opportunity to host the competition that would bring massive business activity at the region where the matches would be staged.
Hotels, food, transportation and other facilities to be used during the competition are all funded by WAFU and CAF which means more business opportunities for Ghanaians.
That is because unlike the others tournament, the WAFU B Championship is fully funded by WAFU and CAF which bring no costs to the government of the hosting country.
Food vendors, hotels housing visiting teams and supporters, transport and taxi businesses will be positively affected to boost pockets of locals just before Christmas. The tournament industry will also be positively affected.
