Mr. Frimpong, in an interview with Ghanalinx, stressed on the need for support to grow this sport. His players, Mr. Frimpong stated, are in desperate need of protective equipments such as, proper skate boards, elbow pads, gloves and helmets. They also need financial support to be able to build a more suitable playing ground for the sport, he pleaded.

The skate soccer players and their handlers were very elated with the things Mr. Odartei donated to them.

Skate soccer is a sport played by persons with physical disabilities, especially polio survivors. They sit on a slightly larger skateboard and play an adapted format of football.
