Vodafone Brings Wembley To Accra

The difference between those who watched the Black Stars-Three Lions of England game from the Wembley Stadium and those who watched it at Polo Club was the flood lights and the grass on the pitch.

It was as though the Polo Grounds was the Queens land where over 20,000 soccer fans watched the epic clash.

The public viewing, put together by telecommunication giants Vodafone Ghana, saw the many that thronged the Polo Grounds dressed in red, yellow and green casual apparel.

Led by the Vodafone Ghana CEO, Kyle Whitehill, the elated crowd made good use of their plastic horns (Vuvuzela) throughout the entire period.

The fans, who gathered in an air-conditioned dome with a giant screen and several other TV sets, kept cheering the Stars on with their Vuvuzelas, especially when there were infringements.

Their joy hit the roofs when Ghana registered the late equalizer, courtesy Asamoah Gyan.

The Disc Jockey (DJ) in the dome, seconds after the goal, greeted the sweet equalizer with Gyan and Castro’s ‘African Girl’ hit track. The fans danced to the song amid drinking.
