Chukwuma Ezeamama, Chairman of Solution FC has called in the media and the private sector in Anambra to support the Anambra State owned club’s campaign to progress from the NNL to NPFL.
Ezeamama made the call during a meeting between the management of Solution FC and leadership of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN), Anambra State chapter in Awka on Tuesday.
The Chairman said the dream of Anambra people to own a football club had been made a reality by Gov Chukwuma Soludo after over 30 years adding that every hand should be on deck to keep Solution FC alive.
“The essence of a state investing in sports and owning a football club in particular is not to make profit but to project the image of the state, that is why I want to thank Hob. Soludo for giving Anambra this football Club.
“We are currently in the Nigeria National League, Anambra is overdue to be the Nigeria Professional Football League, it may look difficult but it is possible that is why we are asking for all the help we can get.
“Promotion will surely happen, I want to thank SWAN for the interest they have shown in what we are doing and I want to assure you that we are ready to partner with you.
I also want the people of Anambra to see Solution FC as a business they want to invest in or use to promote their businesses, but, I admit that the club is also having challenges even from people from this state,” he said.
Ezeamama said the Anambra football team had come to stay and called on teeming soccer loving people of the state to come out and cheer their team at Awka Township Stadium and way games.
On his part, Chimezie Anaso, Chairman of SWAN, Anambra Chapter commended Solution FC management for keeping the club competitive since it’s two years of existence.
Anaso said the possible formation of a State club was the earliest conversation Soludo had with the media and commended him for making it a reality we uth his first year in office.
The SWAN Chairman pledges the commitment of the sports press in Anambra to partner Solution FC to ensure audience in Anambra and beyond become more aware of the club’s activities.
“As the media, we want to assure you that we will tell your stories, entertain enthusiasts, provide criticisms and keep you on your toes to ensure the people of Anambra get the best value out of this huge investment,” he said.
