During a visit to the Coronation Park on Tuesday, GNA Sports witnessed the final packing of office files and other related documents of the RFA Chairman to the newly-constructed permanent office.

Mr Asante who has endeared himself to the hearts of football lovers in the Municipality since assumption of office told GNA Sports that the construction of the office cost GHC 35,000.

Source of funding for the project came from affiliated fees of teams and through registration for regionally-organised football competitions and other fees authorized by the laws of the game in the Region, he said.

Mr Asante said that the new block which comprises the Chairman’s office, two toilets and store was started in February last year and completed in November.
