Three Black Stars’ players, Andre Ayew, Kudus Mohammed, and Gladson Awako, will headline this year’s edition of the Ghana Football Awards, which comes off this evening at the Grand Arena Conference Centre in Accra.
The trio have been shortlisted for the prestigious Ghana Footballer of the Year Award, which is the flagship category of the awards scheme.
One of the three will take over from Arsenal star Thomas Partey, who emerged as the winner in the two previous editions of the awards.
The three players are leading several Ghanaian players, both home and abroad and foreigners playing in the Ghana League, whose performance has been outstanding under the year in review to be celebrated for the exploits.
While the Ghana Footballer of the Year remains the flagship award, other categories such as the Homebased Football of the Year, Goal of the Year, Most Vibrant Club on Social Media and Club CEO of the Year are all likely to generate more excitement.
The Ghana Football Awards is an awards event that sees a marriage of soccer, entertainment and sometimes politics as all those who matter in those fields gather under one roof to celebrate the works of Ghanaian footballers in the year under review.
It will also be a night where Ghanaian footballers scattered worldwide converge to unwind and escape from the pressures of the just-ended season.
It has been a great journey of recognizing the sacrifices of football who break their sweat not only for their respective football clubs but also for their beloved motherland, Ghana.
The awards ceremony will be broadcast live on Joy News on Multi TV, DSTV channel 421 and on GoTV channel 144 at 8pm prompt.
