A TRAINING centre to help identify and develop sports talents in northern Ghana is to be established in Tamale.
Football Players International (FPI), an international organisation based in Holland, is facilitating the project.
A spokesperson of a delegation from Holland, Mr Jawhari Baba-Duah, made this known when the team called on the Deputy Northern Regional Minister, Mr San Nasamu Asabigi, in Tamale.
According to him, the centre would also offer football players the opportunity of continuing their careers in Europe.
He stated that the delegation visited the metropolis to identify sports talents and assist local coaches to undergo training to raise the standard of local teams and players in northern Ghana.
“Furthermore, the FPI through the centre intends to promote peace building and provide alternative career opportunities for the people of the northern region,” Mr Baba-Duah stated.
Mr Asabigi expressed gratitude to the youth of Tamale for their tireless efforts to bring development partners home to support development efforts in northern Ghana.
He assured the delegation of the Regional Co-ordinating Council’s support in developing sports talents in the area.
Mr Asabigi told the delegation that Tamale was a fast growing city so they should endeavour to expedite work on the project to avoid encroachment by other estate developers.
