Offer Support to lesser-known sports--Abeiku

Accra, March 5, GNA - Mr Abeiku Kingsley, host of the TV Africa
programme 'Support Base' has called on the Ghana Football Association
(GFA) and the National Sports Council (NSC) to offer the necessary
assistance for the development of the lesser-known sports in the
country.
Mr Kingsley who made the call in Accra on Sunday, said the
lesser-known sports such as table tennis, badminton, hockey and golf
must not be left to die but rather need to receive the necessary
attention now.
He regretted that the NSC and the GFA are only concerned about the
development of football to the neglect of the other sports which he
said is doing a lot of harm to the nation.
Mr Kingsley therefore appealed to the GFA to organize league
competitions for the lesser known sports to make them popular in the
country.
He also appealed to the NSC to put in measures to protect
supporters who throng the stadia to watch matches and other sporting
events.
