The three-day soccer gala, which runs from Saturday, September 21 to Monday, September 23, 2024, aims to promote peaceful elections through the sport, bringing together sixteen teams from communities such as Madina, Nima, and Kwabenya.

In his remarks, he emphasized the importance of peace, especially during the election period, and urged the youth to be ambassadors of unity. “Football has always been a unifying sport, and I encourage everyone here to use this event to promote peace before, during, and after the elections,” Stonebwoy said.

Additionally, European scouts are attending the matches, offering young players a potential career opportunity beyond local football.
