He appreciated Minister Atanga Nji Paul who supported the team in 2019 during the female national interpools in Dibombari, Littoral region. The support he highlighted went a long way to motivate the girls to grab the elite one ticket.
"When the team returned from the national interpools in 2019, the governor of the region, Adolphe Lele Afrique, supported us financially. We appreciate him", Jephter Pase said.
He also cited the management of Yong Sports Academy and the Regional President of FECAFOOT Mbigha Njah Felix.
Football, especially female football in the region has not benefitted from support from the elite just like the male.

In 2013 and 2022, North West Governor Adolphe Lele Afrique galvanized a lot of support for Yong Sports Academy and PWD Social Football Club of Bamenda. At least something can be done to salvage the image of Vision Sports and other female football teams in the region.
Vision Sports finished 6th in the 12-team championship last term and hopes to end in a championship contenders spot this year.
