Japan Motors, an automobile marketing company in the country has presented sets of football jerseys to Metro Stars, a Division One team in the Sekondi/Takoradi metropolis.
According to the regional branch manager of the company, Mr Steven Nti, the donation was in response to a request made to the company by executive members of the club.
He said Ghana which is arguably a football nation needed to maintain the passion of football for her people at all times.
“Therefore to maintain this passion there is the need to contribute towards it, that is why the company in its small way has decided to respond to the call from Metro Stars as part of its contribution to the development of football in the country,” he said.
He said the company moved to the Western Region not only to create wealth for itself, but to create and share it with its host community through sports and to ensure that the people were happy.
The regional sales representative of the company, Mr Sidik Shardow, said the company had brought its expertise closer to the people in the region.
He expressed the hope that Metro Stars and the Japan Motors would work together to promote each other’s interest at the same time keeping the smile and the passion of the region as well as the nation as a whole alive.
“In the region our activities comprise the sale of automobiles, motorcyles and generator sales and services; general trading; real estate and construction; and information technology services and the customers in the region would feel much closer.
The Chairman of Metro Stars, Mr Clement Dandori, expressed his club’s gratitude to the company for the quick and timely response.
He said to get sports to the level that everyone expects demanded a joint effort to ensure that its administration was not left in the hands of few individuals.
He said football currently required huge capital outlay which demanded the support from the business community, noting that if there was a region in Ghana that had produced some of the best players that region was the Western Region.
He hoped that the good example set by the Western Regional Branch of Japan Motors would be emulated by others to increase the region’s representation in the premiership.
He assured fans of Metro Stars that the team was in good shape and with some motivation it could make it the premiership.
