This year\u2019s Sheikh Sharubutu Ramadan Cup football tournament has received a major boost, as Kenpong Travel and Tours has thrown its weight behind the tournament scheduled to kick off tomorrow.<\/p>\n
The tournament kicks off this weekend with 28 Zongo communities participating, and the timely support of Kenpong will come as a major boost to organisers of the annual event, which brings Zongo communities together to celebrate the end of Ramadan through football.<\/p>\n
The Chairman of Kenpong Group, Kennedy Agyepong, said he has been impressed by the history of the tournament, as well as its key objective of bringing the youth together, regardless of religious affiliation, hence his outfit\u2019s support of the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an impressive competition, from what we have seen in the past, and we are also impressed by the objective of bringing these young people from various Zongo communities, with different backgrounds, together through football,\u201d said Kennedy Agyepong.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a noble initiative, and we see it as a corporate responsibility to help bring young people together to promote discipline and unity, and also to offer them a great opportunity to showcase their talent,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Founder and Chief Coordinator of the Sheikh Sharubutu Ramadan Cup, Tamimu Issah, on behalf of organisers, expressed gratitude to Kenpong Travel and Tour for their support, which he said will \u201cconsiderably cushion organisers to successfully stage the 28-team two-day tournament\u201d.<\/p>\n
