Emigoh Ghana Ltd, producers of Yomi Yoghurt, stunned the El Wak Stadium after winning the coveted Men's Football trophy at the #JoySports Invitational on Saturday.
The company also ended the day with a win of the CEO's Center-to-Goal Shootout. Emigoh won both trophies to see off competition from 13 other crack teams.
"We are very, very excited about this. I do recall we mentioned that we were here to show something remarkable, and also we said our formation was going to be innovative. And here we are!" said Stephen Eku, the company chief executive officer, who won the center-to-goal competition.
