The maiden Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges (UPAC) Football Championship was hugely successful and attracted a decent crowd.
The aim of the UPAC Football Championship is to broaden the frontiers of football at the tertiary level, bringing all the blocks under one umbrella and spearheading a revolution of the game at the highest educational level.
Amongst the many objectives of the UPAC Football Championship is the facilitation and co-ordination of the development of the game and the consolidation of the various blocks under one student sporting organization.
The UPAC Football Championship is distinctive in terms of its organizational structure and participation as it bridges the gap between the several tertiary blocks in the country.
It’s the only platform which pitches GUSA, GHAPSA and PUSAG blocks under one umbrella to compete for honours, scholarships and professional opportunities.
The UPAC Football Championship was sponsored by Ecobank and porganised by Rite Sports Limited.
