Black Stars players Mohammed Kudus and Kamaldeen Sulemana have made a joint donation towards the 10th annual Sheikh Sharubutu Ramadan Cup football tournament which comes off this Saturday April 19, 2025, in Accra.
The West Ham and Southampton stars presented a trophy, medals and a cash prize of ₵5000 to be presented to the winners of the competition.
Mohammed Kudus and Kamaldeen Suleiman followed in the footsteps of Rashid Sumaila and Andre Ayew who have also previously donated towards the tournament.
Organisers of this community tournament expressed gratitude to the duo saying “on behalf of the Chief Patron of the tournament, the National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, whom the tournament is named after and organised under his auspices, we express our utmost gratitude to the two players for their generous support in honour of the Eminent National Chief Imam”.
The Sheikh Sharubutu Ramadan Cup brings youth from over 30 zongo communities together at the end of every Ramadan for a football competition to promote peace and togetherness as well as provide a national platform for the display of football talent from the zongo community.
The 10th edition of the tournament is dubbed the “Champions Edition” and will assemble “only former champions, founding communities and communities with remarkable records in the tournament”.
Fifteen (15) zongo communities will be competing for the trophy in the one-day gala at the Kawokudi Park in Accra tomorrow, Saturday April 19, 2025.
Ashaiman, who are the defending champions, are the most successful team in the competition, having won the trophy a record three times.
