Ghana Women Premier League and FA Cup Champions Hasaacas Ladies have been handed a timely financial intervention by the Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.

The Vice President of the Republic of Ghana, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has extended his support to Hasaacas Ladies Football Club ahead of the CAF champions league participation.

His office this afternoon led by his aide, Tamimu Issah presented a cash sum of $10,000 and also wished the team the best of luck ahead of the competition.

"On behalf of the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, I present this amount of $10,000 Dollars to you. It is his response to the public appeal launched by the team for support towards your participation in the first ever CAF Women's Champions League," said the Vice President's aide.

"His Excellency conveys his special message of goodwill to the entire team and he urges you to go all out and make yourselves and the country proud in Cote D'Ivoire."

The management, technical and playing team of Hasaacas Ladies expressed their heartfelt appreciation to Vice President Bawumia for his surprise contribution.

"We are really surprised by this wonderful gesture by the Vice President, His Excellency Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. We are really grateful to him for this kind support," Head Coach of the team Yussif Basigi said.

The captain of the team, Janet Agyiri, on behalf of the playing body, also expressed gratitude to Dr. Bawumia and assured him and the nation that they would go all out and make the nation proud.

The President of the Club, Nanabayin Eyison, said the Vice President's intervention, which he described as "gargantuan", is the first response to their public appeal.

Hasaacas Ladies launched a campaign on Twitter to seek financial assistance for the club ahead of the WAFU Women’s Champions League qualifiers.

Hasaacas Ladies will be making a trip to Cote D’Ivoire for the maiden edition of the WAFU Women’s Champions League which serves as qualifiers for the CAF Women’s Champions League.

The team after winning both trophies (Women’s Premier League and Women’s FA Cup) in the local scene has set sights on conquering Africa and that has its own financial demands which will require certain amount of financial assistance.

The desire to bring positive change to how people perceive women’s football largely depends on Hasaacas’s campaign that will possibly trickle down to the other 16 Women’s Premier League sides and across the country making sure women’s football is as strong as ever.

The team is currently putting in the finishing touches to their preparation before leaving the country(as it stands by road) to the Ivorian capital, Abidjan.
