The Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA) has hailed the selfless efforts of Ghana beach soccer players in chasing honour by bringing glory to Ghana.

The delegation of players, coaches and technical officials were accompanied by the chief executive officer of Keta Sunset Reuben Dzidodo Adjaho and led by the President of Ghana Beach Soccer Yaw Ampofo Ankrah as well as his executives.

Professor Twumasi said the resilience and recent successes of Beach soccer was an example of determination, focus discipline and patriotism.

He commended the Sunset players for giving their best in Nigeria without any financial motivation, and because of this, he was moved to pledge a token of Ghc 5,000 to defray some of the cost incurred by the team.
