Ahead of African Deaf Nations Cup in Abidjan…

Former SLNAD Prezy appointed as Planning Committee Member

Former President of the Sierra Leone National Association of the Deaf (SLNAD) Mrs. Ramatu Sesay has been appointed to serve as one of the Planning Committee members for the maiden edition of the African Deaf Nations Cup (ADNC) to be hosted in Abidjan, Ivory Coast later this year.

Ramatu got her appointment following a meeting in Abidjan, last year where she reportedly impressed and shared her experience with the other members on the rules and regulations governing deaf football.

The Sierra Leone national deaf team, she updated her colleagues, had engaged the Liberian and Gambian deaf national teams on several international matches.

Speaking to this press, she stated that she felt elated over the appointment and thanked members for reposing confidence in her. She promised to be dedicated and serve the committee selflessly to promote deaf football in Africa

Other members of the Committee include, Mr. Jonathan Amuah (Vice President), Mr. John Stephen Yusuf (General Secretary), Mr. Emhemed Khalifa Emsiri, (President of Libya Deaf Sports Federation), Mr. Nouhoun Keita (President of Mali Deaf Sports Federation), Mrs. Ramatu Sesay (Chairperson of Sierra Leone Deaf Sports Federation).

A meeting among the members was held to harmonise and coordinate the draws.

Group A, Cote D’ivoire, Mali, The Gambia, Egypt,

Group B, Libya, Cameroon, Liberia and Niger,

Group C, Nigeria, Tanzania, Sierra Leone and Algeria,

Group D Ghana, Kenya, Zambia and Guinea.

Mrs Sesay says however noted that the association is in dire need of $10,000 to register for the tournament. She therefore appealed to well-wishers, the Ministry of Sports, other organisations, and individuals for financial support.
