The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), Mohammed Adjei Sowah has tasked the management and playing body of high flying Accra Great Olympics to go all out to win the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League (GPL) title.
“Great Olympics won the Ghana League in 1970 and 1974; making it three this season will be an icing on an eventful season that has seen you brush aside the two glamorous clubs in the country – Hearts and Asante Kotoko.”
Mr Adjei Sowah made the call when he led a group of three Municipal Chief Executives who are also supporters of the club – Boye Laryea for Okaikwei North Municipal Assembly and Dr Emmanuel Lamptey, the Ga Central to donate a cash amount of GH¢10,000.00, balls and ball boys jerseys.
Mr Sowah reminded the playing body that winning the league was not beyond them and urged them to be focused and confident to make their fans happy.
“Playing in Africa is our desire, we want to see Great Olympics at the continental level and as a group, and we must work to ensure that you achieve just that.”
He said Saturday’s win over Hearts brought joy to the club’s supporters, adding that a sustained performance will earn them more support from the fans.
The AMA boss pledged to mobilise all true faithful of the ‘Dade’ family to come and contribute to the forward march of the club.
“We will make sure Great Olympics supporters everywhere come together to support the management, technical team and playing body to achieve successes.
Mr Adjei Sowah urged management to distribute the jerseys to the club’s ball boys, adding that, “ball boys the world over become footballers and in the case where it happens here, they will first consider our club.
