Sports Minister features for Hearts Youth Team

The Sports Minister played for a period of twenty minutes in the first ever football game at the new Pantang Vision Explorers Soccer Academy Stadium.

A 3000-capacity stadium, built by Vision Explorers Soccer Academy, was inaugrated on Monday by the Hon. Minister of Youth and Sports, Nii Lantey Vanderpuye.

The Sports Minister Nii Lantey Vanderpuye played for ten minutes each for Auroras and Vision Explorers Soccer Academy in a game that the Hearts of Youth team failed to grind out the results.

Nii Lantey Vanderpuye was with Vision Explorers Soccer Academy when they took the lead from the spot kick, but he could help Hearts Oak to draw even when he joined them for a 10-minute period.

Former Hearts of Oak marksman, Charles Taylor was the one who successfully led the hosts to hand Auroras the 2-0 defeat.
