Ashanti Regional SHS Football Competition Cancelled

The Ashanti Regional football competition for the boy’s division originally slated for Monday 26th June, 2023 has been called off.

This comes after the Minister for Education Dr Osei Yaw Adutwum appealed to the Regional Director of Education Dr Kwame Amankrah and the SHS Federation to reconsider their decision to ban several schools from this year’s event.

This cry was necessary after the regional sports federation decided to extend the ban from the recently ended athletics to cut across other sporting disciplines.

Dr. Yaw Adutwum who is an Old boy (Abranteɛ) appealed when spoke as a guest at the 60th Anniversary launch of his Alma mater yesterday at the school’s premises.

He said he has received several petitions from schools that were affected by the decision of the regional schools federation.

He said it is not fair to extend ban or punishments from athletics to other sports disciplines like football, basketball etc.

A new date of Thursday 29th June to Tuesday 4th July 2023 has been set.

A new draw is expected to be conducted for the games on 26th June, 2023.
