Indeed, every journey starts with a single step. This is the story of Ghana's Democracy cup. I instituted this cup to use the enthusiasm associated with football to promote unity and evangelise the ideals of democracy. Three years down the line, the winner of this year's competition will play against Sunderland AFC in the UK. There are many opportunities in the partnership with Sunderland that will unfold in the coming days. In all this, it is my hope that, this initiative will open doors for some players to break into the global soccer arena.
