From an area where most young girls are discouraged from actively participating in sports, it is encouraging to see young girls courageously engaging in sporting activities that many a young girl would not dare go in for. And those who are determined and work hard in their chosen field usually succeed. We can talk of the likes of Jane Ayieyam and Magdalene Awuni who made it to the women's national teams out of the same area.
Such is the story of CYNTHIA ASANDEM who started learning how to officiate under the tutelage of former Wiaga United player and now Ghana premier league referee Albert Abekatua Azantinlow at the dilapidated Sandema Sports Stadium.
Her hard and commitment paid off as she passed all the mandatory fitness tests required to office competitive GFA sanctioned competitions.
The young female referee who officiated in the Ghana Women's Premier League off-season Super cup competition excelled and her efforsts were rewarded with an appointment to be one of the referees to officiate the Super cup finals.
The finals was played between Ampem Darko Ladies and Faith Ladies, with Faith winning 3-1 . As expected, Cynthia Asandem excelled in her officiating duties in the usual Bulsa way.
In line with the Wiaga United Football-for-Hope program we are happy to see young Bulsa girls venturing into sports officiating.
CYNTHIA ASANDEM is an inspiration to anyone who has a talent in any sporting endeavor. We wish more success and to encourage her to keep working hard.
We also want to congratulate our former club legend, Azantilow Albert Abekatua for excelling as a referee and also pulling others along.
