As they represent the country in the 33rd Men/24th Women Africa Cup for Club Champions (ACCC) in Nairobi, Kenya, the Ghana Army Female Hockey Team has been challenged to be outstanding ambassadors for the Ghana Army.
When he met the Ghana Army Female Hockey team, coached by Major Dickson Agalga, before they departed Accra over the weekend for the Championship, Lieutenant Colonel Isaac Yirbom Niminga-Beka, the deputy gender advisor at the Army Headquarters, said this.
The last batch of the team departed on Monday, February 13, to join the rest in Nairobi for the games scheduled for 13-21 February 2023.
Ten clubs from various African countries including Egypt, Nigeria, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Kenya aside from Ghana, are participating in the competition.
The team’s participation was a fulfilment of the Chief of Army Staff’s promise to the team when they presented the National Women’s Best Hockey Team 2022 Trophy to him last week.
