Organisers of the Tema Sallah Derby have honoured key sponsors of the annual Eid football clash with a portrait presentation, in recognition of their unwavering support and contributions to the community.
The presentation was made to Mubarak Nkrumah, popularly known as K9, and Alhaji Sultan Nerror—two prominent figures behind the successful staging of the Sallah derby between Coke Stand and OneWay in Tema Community One.
According to the organisers, the gesture was meant to appreciate the duo for their generosity and commitment to ensuring the smooth organisation of the match, which has become a significant event on Tema’s local football calendar.
They also highlighted the sponsors’ broader philanthropic efforts, noting their continuous impact on youth development and community welfare.
During the presentation, the organisers commended both men for their dedication to sustaining the derby and creating a platform that brings the community together through sport.
In response, Mubarak Nkrumah (K9) and Alhaji Sultan Nerror expressed gratitude for the recognition, describing it as a motivating gesture that reinforces their commitment to supporting grassroots football and community initiatives.
Beyond their involvement in the Sallah derby, both sponsors are actively engaged in football development.
K9 is the owner of Division Two side True Life FC, which is currently pushing for promotion, while Alhaji Sultan Nerror owns Division One club True Democracy Football Club.
The Tema Sallah Derby continues to grow in stature, serving not only as a celebration of Eid but also as a symbol of unity and grassroots football development in the community.
