NASCO Electronics has presented prizes for the Coach and Player of the Month awards to winners Bashir Hayford and Richmond Opoku.

Bashir Hayford led Heart of Lions to an unbeaten run in September, winning three matches, while Young Apostles forward Richmond Opoku scored three goals during the same month.

The duo received their prizes at the Electroland Office in Accra on Wednesday, October 22.

Opoku received a 40-inch digital satellite television and a double-door fridge with a bottom freezer for winning the Player of the Month award, while a 43-inch television and a chest freezer were presented to Bashir Hayford for claiming the Coach of the Month honour.

Head of Marketing and Communications, Adiza Ibrahim, presented the prizes to representatives of the player and coach.

She described the partnership between the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and NASCO as everlasting.

"Our relationship with the FA and the league started in 2017, and I will say it’s been good. It is an everlasting partnership, and we will always be there to support our players and coaches for what they do for this country.

"We are an organisation that loves to support, and we are happy we have done this — and we will continue to do it," she told the media.

She added, "What we have put into the league is a lot, and I cannot begin to quantify it. For eight years, we have supported players and coaches, but the joy for us at NASCO Electronics is that there’s motivation to do more because of what we give them."

This season, NASCO Electronics expanded its support to cover players and coaches in the Division One League, where the Man of the Match winners in every league game walk away with a NASCO pressing iron.

For the Player of the Month, the winner will receive a 24-inch NASCO television set, while the Coach of the Month will be rewarded with a larger 32-inch NASCO television.

"We have decided to support the Division One League because we noticed their efforts deserve some recognition, and as a company, we thought it wise to motivate the players in the lower divisions.

"In fact, in the Women’s Premier League, we are giving the Player of the Month a 40-inch NASCO television and a four-burner NASCO gas cooker. It used to be just a NASCO television, but we have increased the incentives," she added.
