The Vice President and flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has made a personal donation of $10,000 to Hasaacas Ladies to boost their morale ahead of the 2024 CAF Women’s Champions League WAFU Zone B qualifiers in Ivory Coast.
Hasaacas Ladies qualified to represent Ghana in the competition after winning the 2023-2024 Ghana Women’s Premier League.
An Aide to Dr. Bawumia, Tamimu Issah, presented the money to the management of Hasaacas Ladies in Accra on Tuesday, and conveyed the Vice President’s best wishes to the team, which leaves the country on Thursday for the tournament.
Dr. Bawumia’s support has come as a timely boost to Hasaacas Ladies, and also a major cushion to the management of the team, due to the huge financial requirements for the tournament.
This is not the first time the Vice President has supported Hasaacas Ladies or women’s football in the country.
When Hasaacas Ladies qualified for the maiden CAF Women’s Champions League four years ago, Dr. Bawumia responded to their public appeal for help by supporting them financially for both the competition in Ivory Coast and the final tournament in Egypt..
Following that gesture, Dr. Bawumia has since been financially supporting every Ghanaian Women’s Premier League Champion representing Ghana at the CAF Women’s Champions League every year.
Last year, he supported Ampem Darkoa Ladies, who were crowned champions in the league.
Dr. Bawumia has also, for the past three years, adopted the SWAG Female Footballer of the Year by giving winners of the award a cash prize..
Hasaacas Ladies will face Nigeria’s Edo Queens, Burkina Faso’s Omnisports Etincelle, and Niger’s AS Garde National in their group.
