Assifuah receives Presidential support at Glo-CAF Awards
Ghana's lone-ranger, Ebenezer Assifuah,
shortlisted for an award at Thursday's Glo-CAF
Awards Gala will have some home support as Ghana
Football Association President arrives in Lagos.

GFA President Kwesi Nyantakyi, who is also a CAF
Executive Committee member touched down in Lagos
on Thursday morning together with some Ghanaian
journalists who will be covering the ceremony at
the Eko Convention Centre tonight.

Former Ghana U-20 striker, Assifuah is on the
final three-man shortlist for CAF's Most Promising
Talent award.

The striker is the only Ghanaian representative in
any of the award categories and faces competition
from Saleh Gomaa of Egypt and Nigeria's Kelechi
Iheanacho.

The Ghana international won the Golden Boot trophy
at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Turkey and
helped his country to win third-place after
scoring six goals in seven matches.

Prior to the tournament in Turkey, he struck three
goals at the African U-20 Championship in Algeria
where Ghana reached the final.

He was named in the tournament best XI.
