Old Tafo MP, Assafuah Has Donated GHC10k To Ghana’s Amputee Football Team For World Cup Preparations

According to a report by GHOne TV yesterday which was Saturday, October 24, 2026, the Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Assafuah, has extended financial support to Ghana’s national amputee football team, the Black Challenge, by donating ₵10,000 to assist the team with preparations for the upcoming World Cup.

The donation is expected to contribute to the team’s preparations as the players work towards representing Ghana on the international stage.

The Black Challenge, which has earned recognition for its performances in amputee football, continues to attract attention as the country prepares to participate in the global competition.

Assafuah’s contribution highlights the importance of financial assistance and encouragement for national teams, particularly those representing Ghana in sporting competitions outside the country.

Such support can help ease some of the financial pressures associated with preparations, including training and other logistical requirements.

The Black Challenge players will be hoping to make the most of their preparations and deliver an impressive performance at the World Cup.

Competing at such a high level requires commitment, discipline and adequate preparation, making financial contributions from individuals and institutions potentially valuable to the team’s ambitions.

The ₵10,000 donation from the Old Tafo legislator also draws attention to the role politicians, corporate organisations and other well-meaning Ghanaians can play in promoting sports development.

Supporting national teams can help motivate athletes and demonstrate that their efforts to bring honour to the country are appreciated.

Amputee football provides an important platform for athletes with limb differences to demonstrate their abilities, determination and competitive spirit. The Black Challenge has become one of the teams Ghanaian sports supporters look to when celebrating the achievements of athletes with disabilities.

As the team continues preparations for the World Cup, Assafuah’s gesture represents a show of support for the players and their mission to fly Ghana’s flag high. The team will be hoping to translate its preparations into strong performances and make the nation proud during the international tournament.
