McPhylls Protocol Consult presents assorted food, PPEs to NSA, 4 para sports assocs.
A Deputy Director General (Technical) at the National Sports Authority (NSA), Mr Abedu Wilson has called on the private sector to extend support to players/athletes in the sports industry as the covid-19 effects ravages on.
According to Mr Wilson, the lack of activity on the sports scene has rendered the players/athletes redundant and has made life unbearable for some of them, adding that, ‘the companies and individuals offering support must try and reach them.’
The NSA Director made the comment on Tuesday when he received assorted food items and Personal Protect Equipment (PPEs) to the NSA and four paralympic sports associations.
McPhylls Protocol Consult, an Accra based logistics company that have supported paralympic sports over the years presented 60 Veronica buckets, 10 cartons of Sardine, 10 boxes of liquid soup, 10 boxes of cooking oil, 10 boxes of hand sanitizers, 300 pieces of nose masks and 60 bags of rice to the NSA and the associations.
The beneficiary associations included the Ghana Deaf Football Association (GDFA), Ghana Blind Football Association (GBFA), Ghana Amputee Football Association (GAFA) and Cerebral Palsy Football Association (CPFA).
According to Mr Wilson, the gesture will go a long way to support the beneficiaries and thanked the logistics company for the gesture and advised other companies to offer similar supports to the athletes to ease the pressure on them.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of McPhylls, Mr Festus Annan said the welfare of players in the sports industry has been a major concern for his outfit and that informed the decision to support them.
The gesture, he explained, was also to commemorate the 60th birthday anniversary of his father, Mr Winfred Chartey Annan, the Head Coach of the national deaf football team.
He disclosed that the company would make a similar donation to other para sports that were left out.
Coach Chartey was full of gratitude for the honour done him and hoped that motivates the athletes work harder.
President of the Association of Sports for the Disabled, Shaaban Mohammed thanked Mr Annan for the support.

Management of Asempa FM has issued a public apology to the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Kofi Adams, after wrongly quoting him in a recent publication about the selection of players for the Black Stars.
In a statement released by the station’s management, Asempa FM admitted that a quote card shared after Kofi Adams’ interview on Ultimate Sports Show on 13th October 2025 misrepresented his actual remarks.
According to the station, the error created a wrong impression that the Sports Minister was directly involved in selecting players for the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“The wording on the artwork may have created a misleading impression. For clarity, the Honorable Minister stated that the final decision on player selection rests solely with the technical team, and he emphasized the importance of transparency and merit-based selection,” the statement said.
Asempa FM expressed deep regret for the misrepresentation and apologized to Kofi Adams and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The management further assured the public that the station would take steps to ensure greater accuracy and care in its future communications.
“We hold Kofi Adams and his office in the highest regard and deeply regret any inconvenience or misunderstanding caused,” the statement concluded.

When Otto Addo took charge, Ghana sat fourth in Group I with just three points from two matches — a situation that seemed daunting for even the most optimistic fans. But what followed was one of the most remarkable turnarounds in African World Cup qualifying history.
Addo’s arrival brought renewed tactical clarity and belief. He restructured the team’s shape, redefined roles, and instilled discipline in both defense and attack. The results began to flow as Ghana went on an astonishing run of victories.
The coach’s calm leadership was crucial in restoring confidence to key players who had lost form. Veterans found new motivation, while youngsters flourished under his guidance, creating a perfect blend of maturity and energy.
Each win became a statement of intent — that Ghana was back. The team’s comeback victories over tough opponents like Mali and Central African Republic showed resilience and mental fortitude.
By the end of the campaign, the Black Stars had climbed from fourth to first, topping the group with 25 points and a +17-goal difference — a clear testament to Otto Addo’s transformational leadership.
This turnaround will go down in Ghana’s football annals as a story of hope, determination, and tactical brilliance that brought the nation back to the world stage.
