Some selected Basic schools in the Upper west region are set to benefit from the ongoing FIFA 11 for Health Project after its commencement on Monday January 11, 2016.
The five day interactive programme will see participants schooled on how to use football as a medium of relaying health related information to their pupils.
The global outreach project from FIFA is heading to the region for the first time despite its presence in the country in the last four years.
The educative project is aimed at equipping the Basic school teachers on how to feast on the affiliation of the school children to football in relaying healthy living conditions.
The project scheduled for January 11-15 will see the teachers armed with an eleven week long project with school kids on completion.
The global out reach project will see over 80 schools in the region represented in its maiden edition slated at the Wa sports stadium.
Regional Football Association (RFA)chairman Alhaji Sadugu Yahaya commended the organisers for the project and tasked the teachers to relay the message across to the pupils.
“The most important thing is for the teachers to get the message across and deliver it as recieved from the tutors. It is a global project and must be embraced with all the needed attention and mindset.
It is our first time of getting its taste but we hope it continues with larger numbers in the subsequent years. Thanks to the organisers the upper west region has been factored in”, Alhaji Yahaya revealed.
The fourth edition of the project was launched in December last year by four times African Footballer of the year Samuel Eto ahead of the January kick offs across the nation.
