Help the Ghana Lions Fund a Football Pitch! #AVFC

Donation protected
Hello Villa Fans!

The Ghana Lions, who some would say are the heart and soul of fan culture outside the UK for our beloved club, have started a small football academy to keep youths in their town safe and healthy through sport. Their training and operations, however, have been put on hold due to lack of pitch availability.

Owusu has earmarked some plots where they could play that would, long-term, hopefully be developed into an all-weather turf field through private and government assistance. However, the most important thing now is just finding a place to play that they can level/ grade to have sessions. They love sport, they love Villa, and their ability to get out and have football as an outlet is pivotal in keeping so many of these youngsters on the right paths.

We understand this goal is lofty and recognize it may take a while to achieve, but any and all support you can muster (even if that's just a share on your social media channels) is appreciated. I'm in contact with Owusu and co, and we are hoping to get some players, current and former, as well as the club involved to hit this first milestone. 

Thanks, and be well! Happy to field questions on this as well.
