Pele, GFC receive footballs as part of reintegration process
with the local balls. Since we are concentrating on the youth, we would want to provide them the exposure of playing with the FIFA balls so they can get a feel of them.”
Similarly Gibbons posited, “It’s a great step by the GFF. You can make a field anywhere, you can make a goal out of anything but at the end of the day the most important thing in football is the actual ball because you can’t play without a ball.”
Gibbons continued, “It will be great if we practice and play with game balls as all of the leagues use the balls. If we train with a different ball, mistakes are usually made in the games when kicking a ball one is not familiar with so I think it is a great step forward especially since we have a very active youth programme. It will be a great thing to enhance what we already have.”
