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."
Mr Andani said Stanbic, one of the sponsors for the competition will be responsible for creating the big match feeling before and after the competition based on the desire of the Bank to make the tourney have a lasting memory in the minds of the sporting fans.
