FC Utrecht and the Tamale Utrecht Football Club from Ghana have confirmed their cooperation this Sunday by signing an agreement. They did so just before the football match FC Utrecht - ADO Den Haag.
TUFC and TUFA are joint projects of FC Utrecht large shareholder Frans van Seumeren and the Ghanaian football player Abdulai Alhassan, who returned to Ghana to be able to make a difference for his fellow countrymen. On the part of FC Utrecht, the cooperation mainly consists of supplying know-how and materials. All TUFC teams, for instance, play in FC Utrecht outfits. In return, FC Utrecht gets first choice of any talented players of the Ghanaian club.
Beside TUFC, this spring the TUFA, the Tamale Utrecht Football Academy, will kick off. The aim of this Academy is to stimulate sports and social development in Tamale, in the North of Ghana, by investing knowledge, experience and means in football and in community projects. TUFA players reside at the Academy, go to school on a daily basis and possibly play at the club after completing the Academy.
“We are aiming for a coooperation between the Foundation FC4YOU and the Academy in the future,” says Wilco van Schaik, managing director of FC Utrecht. “FC Utrecht wants to be a club with its feet in the community, that has good relations with surrounding amateur clubs and that contributes via FC4YOU to the social development of the city and the region. TUFC and TUFA in Ghana have comparable objectives.”
