Alhaji Grunsah's King Faisal which invaded the Ohene Djan Sports Stadium in Accra last Sunday and ditched Accra Hearts of Oak 1-0, have vowed to whitewash Hearts in Kumasi in the return encounter on Sunday.
This, according to King Faisal, is to send a strong warning to all premier clubs in the country that the Kumasi-based club could be one of the clubs to watch in the upcoming season and also remind the Phobians that their opponents in Sunday's match remain their bogey club .
The charity match, being honoured by King Faisal and Accra Hearts of Oak, is to help raise money for KATH’s endowment fund to accelerate the refurbishment of the main admission blocks of the hospital.
According to KATH officials, as much as GH¢100,000 is needed to enable them to refurbish the blocks, popularly referred to as GEE blocks.
Since the endowment fund was launched a few months ago, public response has not been encouraging and to enhance the fund raising, " Kome to my Aid International", an NGO, decided to sponsor sporting programmes to enable the sporting public to positively respond to the programme..
After sponsoring the first encounter in Accra, Kome to my AID International is poised to make the return more memorable as a way of leaving a legacy.
According to the sponsors, soccer fans are to pay a flat rate of GH¢3.00 for the popular stand and centre line, while the VIP ticket will attract a rate of GH¢10.00.
The Public Relations Officer of the KATH, Mr Kwame Frimpong, told the Daily Graphic that a curtain raiser will be played between the official football team of the KATH and Angel FM, a Kumasi-based FM station led by Mr Bright Kankam Boadu, a renowned sports presenter.
He said the KATH team would be led by Dr Ankobea of the Obstetric and Gynaecology Directorate, saying the KATH team was poised to humiliate the FM station to prove that they were not only efficient in health care delivery, but could also entertain the sporting public with their skills in soccer.
On the match itself, Accra Hearts of Oak have vowed to turn the table against their opponents in Kumasi as a way of pacifying their fans.
The painful 0-1 defeat suffered by Hearts remains a headache, and in Kumasi,where Hearts enjoy a lot of support, a second defeat will not be welcome news.
With both teams determined to carry the day, a good match is anticipated, and soccer fans who will fill the Baba Yara Sports Stadium will ultimately be the beneficiaries.
