Kawo said the victory at the just-concluded African
Cup of Nations, AFCON has shown that we can achieve greatness in football
especially in the league, if only government can channel more resources into
football.
He noted that there is need to use football to fight terrorism
that is why they (NNWL) chose the theme: “Using football as a tool for fighting
current challenges facing our country.”
The NNWL chairman further disclosed that the congress
will centre on designing the roadmap for the league. “We want to sanitise the
league. Unless we sit down and address the problem confronting the league, we may
not be able to achieve our aim. Private sectors are ready to sponsor the league
but because of the crisis confronting our football, they are reluctant to come,
at this level, we don’t need crisis.” he added.
