We want to develop soccer at grassroots level giving African millenials literally a chance to change their lives,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n<p>Chelsea\u2019s Director of International Development, Ian Woodroffe, says the club is pleased to be building on its relationship with Rexona and add that there are real opportunities in the Rexona partnership for young African players. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, there is nothing more exciting than finding fresh talent. When you meet a player who is prepared to put in that sweat, that sacrifice, then you know you have found something. That\u2019s why I am excited about this partnership. <\/p>\n<p>This partnership with Rexona will provide an amazing opportunity for aspiring African footballers.\u201d The partnership, Rexona hopes, will do more than just shape players.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/57445896.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/94360107.jpg\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 56 updated by: 56 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Thursday, 12 October 2017 Source: 3news.com 2017-10-12 Rexona\u2019s Umar Alam (R) was happy with the partnership &#13; English Premier League giants Chelsea have entered into a partnership with Rexona that both parties hope will have significant impact on the lives of footballers in Ghana and across the continent.
