THE GAME OF ONE POLE IN FOOTBALL IN GHANA(NAVRONGO)

After a long hours of being indoors, I felt like walking around the neighborhood to see places I have not yet visited since my arrival in this town.

I went a little far away from my hostel that I thought I was even going to get lost. For some minutes of long walk, I saw this youth playing football on a peach. The peach looks very bare because of the season we are in. During this time of harmattan, the plants Abd grasses dry off very fast making every where looks brownish.

I went close to watch because I like to see this youngsters display their talents on the peach. These kids have good skills and can really play very well. What I liked most is the joy and passion that comes with it as they play on the peach.

This was not the usual poles and that was interesting to see. They used just a piece of building blocks as a pole. Each team uses a block as a pole.

In order for a team to score, the ball needs to hit the single block. The directions at which it hits it does not matter. Meaning when a team hits the opponents single block which is representing as a pole, then it’s a goal.

There was no overs in this match. But they had throw ins. It was a game with a whole new law all together.
There were also no penalties, in case a foul is made so close to the pole, all the team members will line up in front as a wall to prevent the opponent from scoring. Interesting right, it’s so amazing how this guys turned the rules of football and we’re still enjoying it.

It was fun to watch though, I really enjoyed this Yøung-stars play. I will definitely go there again to watch their games.

I just discovered something new in the game of football today and happy to share with you. It’s doesn’t matter where you found yourself playing the game of football, and the rules can be amended and will still be fun. Hope you enjoyed my post.

Thank You.
