The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has extended support to the University for Development Studies (UDS) as the reigning African Universities Soccer Champions prepare to represent Ghana at the World Universities Soccer Championship in China this September.

Earlier this year, UDS made history by winning the Africa Universities Soccer Championship in Nigeria, securing the honour of flying Ghana’s flag at the global competition. Following their triumph, the University appealed to the GFA for assistance in their preparations to ensure a befitting representation on the world stage.

Responding to this call, the Association on Thursday presented sets of training kits to UDS. The items were received on behalf of the University by Michael Ansa, Head of the Accra Office of UDS, with the presentation made by the Chief Finance Officer of the GFA on behalf of the President of the FA and the Executive Council.

Beyond the kits, the Association has also pledged to provide UDS access to the world-class training facilities at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram, giving the team the opportunity to intensify their preparations before departure.

The Association reaffirmed its commitment to supporting academic institutions that excel in football, noting that UDS’ continental success is a clear testament to the abundance of talent and potential within Ghana’s tertiary education space.
