At a short ceremony to unveil the Billboard, Mr Alhassan Andani, Managing Director of Stanbic underscored his outfit's quest in creating energy and excitement for the competition, which is expected to be the most memorable in the 50-year history of the competition.
"This is to create awareness, the necessary mood and atmosphere of the African Championship amongst the football public."
