Gbese Mantse Homowo Peace Cup: Lions seek revenge against Hearts Sunday

It will be more than just pre-season pride at stake this Sunday when Kpando Heart of Lions lock horns with Accra Hearts of Oak in the 2025 Gbese Mantse Homowo Peace Charity Cup at the Accra Sports Stadium.

For Lions, it is a shot at redemption after last year’s heartbreaker as the Kpando side suffered a 7-8 penalty defeat to the Phobians after a tense 1-1 draw in the inaugural final. Since then, they have shown tremendous improvement, finishing as runners-up in the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League.

From heartbreak to history: Nubia makes big splash in Singapore

UK-based Ghanaian swimmer Nubia Adjei arrived at the World Aquatics 2025 Swimming Championships in Singapore with one mission – to lower her race times and strengthen her bid to help Ghana shine at future African, Commonwealth and Olympic Games.

But her campaign got off in frustrating fashion. On July 30, the 22-year-old crashed out of the women’s 50m backstroke heats in 10th place, clocking 32.23 seconds –- well adrift of her own national record of 30.74.

NSA to set up Normalisation Committee to drive reforms in Ghana boxing

The National Sports Authority (NSA), with full backing from the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, is set to establish an ad hoc Normalisation Committee to take over the affairs of the Ghana Boxing Authority (GBA) when the current board’s extended mandate expires on August 19.

The Graphic Sports understands that last Friday’s high-level meeting between the GBA board, NSA Director-General Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, and the ministry representatives ended in deadlock after the government stood firm on its decision to implement sweeping reforms recommended by the Ministerial Commission of Enquiry into the death of Nigerian boxer Gabriel Oluwanreju, who collapsed during a professional bout in Accra in March.
