What about an actual African Nations Cup Competition with a team representing each of the sixteen nations taking part who are:
Ghana
Ivory Coast
Egypt
Nigeria
Sudan
Cameroon
Angola
Senegal
Guinea
Mali
Nambia
Zambia
Morocco
Tunisia
Benin
South Africa
The competition could either be run perhaps as a five a side involving kids from the School of excellence, Schools or chuck it open to one of the leagues the Stanley juniors are involved in. Play it over a weekend or whatever as a Group Competition then on to the knockout stages culminating in the Final being played at the FES on Saturday 19th January at half time five minutes each way during the Brentford game which is two days before Benin kick off in their first game in the actual tournament. Perhaps have some kind off pitch side presentation at the end of the game for everyone who has taken part in the competition by my reckoning that would be eighty kids who would probably bring a couple of adults each could put an extra 250+ plus on the gate on the day. Maybe it is something that Hynburn Council could also use as a vehicle for promoting sport for kids in the Borough? Also include crowd participation by perhaps asking people to come in fancy dress and have prizes for the best, the worst etc, could make it into a real family day?
Just an idea!
