President and bankroller of Division One side Tema Youth Football Club, Mr. Wilfred Osei Kwaku Palmer has lauded decision by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to offer the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence facility in Prampram to be used as isolation centre in the fight against the Covid-19.

“Through our Medical Committee, we have gotten in touch with the authorities to make them aware that our facility at Prampram is available for use,” a GFA statement signed by General Secretary, Prosper Harrison Addo, read.

“The Centre of Excellence is spacious and we think, the facility can be of great help to government in this challenging times”.
