Senior Communications Manager at the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Patrick Akoto, is in Cote D’voire attending a three-day West African Football Union (WAFU Zone B) Media Strategies Workshop – the first of its kind in the thriving zone.
The three day workshop runs from Tuesday, February 4 to Thursday February 6, 2025, at WAFU B’s new Headquarters in the Ivorian capital, Abidjan.
Representatives of all the seven members of the regional body are in attendance as well as a representative of WAFU Zone A has also been invited to benefit from the training workshop.
The workshop focuses on digital communication, sports communication, crisis management and sensitive communication, sponsorship, and partnership, amongst other exciting topics.
The workshop will provide participants with the skills and knowledge needed to develop effective media and communication strategies aimed at improving the promotion of football across the divide.
The knowledge shared at the workshop will enhance the operations of the Communication Department of the Associations and the sub-regional body.
The President of the Ivorian Football Federation, Yacine Idriss Diallo, opened the workshop on behalf of WAFU B President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, alongside hardworking WAFU B Executive Director, Philippe Tchere.
Participants are being trained on various aspects of media relations, content creation, and digital communication strategies.
The sessions have been designed to help the member associations build stronger media presence, engage with fans more effectively, and improve the various communication channels.
The initiative reflects WAFU’s commitment to enhancing the professionalism of football management in West Africa, ensuring that the region’s football activities receive better coverage and visibility across local and international platforms.
WAFU B is organising the workshop in partnership with the Côte d’Ivoire Digital Press Network, France24 and DW.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
