The much anticipated Skate Soccer International return match between the Rolling Rockets of Ghana and the Kano Pillars of Nigeria came off this Saturday the 9th of December 2017 at the Lagos State Stadium in Lagos.
In an impressive display, the Kano Pillars beat the Rolling Rockets of Ghana 8-1 to lift the trophy.
The Chief Executive Officer of the International Federation of Skate Soccer (IFSS), Albert Frimpong lauded the efforts of Binatone, Afriglobal Group, the Ghana and Nigeria teams for their support in making the match a success.
Speaking to journalists at end of other 2017 Binatone IFSS Unity Cup, Albert Frimpong revealed that the motive behind the formation of IFSS was to generate funds and create jobs the physically challenged who are into the spot.
He asserted that the Skate soccer athletes are hardworking and determined people with the willingness to lead an independent life thus called on the government and corporate bodies to join IFSS in its quest to move the physically challenged from the streets and provide them with well-paid jobs.
“The idea behind this program is to garner some money and create income generating jobs for these athletes. The sport is just to promote the event and also create awareness about the plight of these athletes. Once we get enough funding, we will set up income generating projects for the players, Frimpong said.
