Accra: The Progressive Sports Supporters Union of Ghana (PROSSU Ghana) has donated sports kits to Matsestars United Football Club in Ho as part of the association's commitment to support sports development and assist the needy in society. Members of PROSSU from Kasoa, Kumasi, Accra, Ho, and other parts of the country participated in the presentation on Friday.
According to Ghana News Agency, the items donated included two sets of jerseys, two footballs, and an undisclosed amount of money to support the club. Mr. Francis Clottey, National President of PROSSU Ghana, stated that the donation was part of the association's efforts to support promising teams and promote sports development in the country. He noted that when a team is progressing in their league, supporting them helps achieve their goals.
Mr. Clottey elaborated on the four key pillars on which PROSSU was founded: supporting the needy, promoting sports development, undertaking community clean-up exercises, and promoting discipline among supporters. He urged football supporters across the country to maintain discipline during matches and other sporting events to enhance Ghana's image internationally.
He further advised the players of Matsestars United to remain disciplined and united on the field. Emphasizing the importance of discipline and teamwork in football, Mr. Clottey stated that understanding and collaboration among players during training can lead to achieving their goals. He added that fan support, including singing and drumming during matches, could motivate players to perform better.
Receiving the items on behalf of the team, Mr. John Doe, Coach of Matsestars United Football Club, expressed gratitude to PROSSU Ghana for the gesture, noting that the team consists of young players eager to progress but lacking substantial support. He stated that this donation would motivate the players to work harder and appealed for more support from individuals and organizations to help the club develop and progress in competitive football.
Matsestars United Football Club is a Division Three side originating from Matse in the Ho Municipality but currently based at Aflakpe in the Ho West District. The team is participating in Group A of the ongoing Ho Municipal Football Association Division Three League.
