Akpokavi: IHF is a must for Ghana

President of the Ghana Hockey Federation, Richard Akpokavi has admitted that the Implementation of the International Hockey Federation developmental project in Ghana is a must and will help develop and promote the game of hockey.

The IHF is embarking on a three-day support and development programme dubbed Hockey Tap West Africa, which is aimed at helping the growth of the game amongst Women at a cost of thirty thousand pounds (£30,000.00).

The program, which is being sponsored by the International Hockey Federation, is expected to start soon with Ghana becoming one of the latest beneficiaries from West Africa to enjoy the program.

Richard Akpokavi says they are excited about the prospects the initiative will offer his Federation.

“We are very elated that the International body has chosen Ghana as the next beneficiary and we must admit that this will help the development and the promotion of the sport in the country.

“The Federation has been talking about this for years and we must admit that we are very pleased to have this.”

“This will help all of us locally and internationally if we are able to produce the players that we want in the shortest possible time, it will help us to achieve our target.”
