After months of anticipation, the football world and Argentina will today witness what is probably the biggest wedding in recent times as Lionel Messi ties the knot with Antonella Roccuzzo in his hometown of Rosario.

The wedding has captured the attention of the world since the pair have known each other since age five, and the world is itching to know who have been invited to be part of this special occasion in the couple’s lives.

Ghana’s Black Stars will end their US tour tomorrow, hoping to return home with a win over old foes USA when they clash at the Pratt & Whitney Stadium in Connecticut.

After their convincing 5-0 thrashing of Ethiopia in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier earlier this month, the Stars unfortunately lost 0-1 to Mexico at the NRG Stadium in Houston last Wednesday night after John Boye had gifted the Mexicans a penalty in the 32nd minute.

Undefeated super-middleweight brawler, Habib Ahmed, is gearing up for a world title bout in November after beverage company, JoyDadi Industries, secured a partnership deal with his promoters, Landmark Promotions.

Habib, 25, who has fought 26 times and won 25, with one draw, is being sponsored by JoyDadi to challenge the winner of the WBO super middleweight bout between Gilberto Ramirez and Jesse Hart in the US in September.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko are bent on avoiding a third straight loss to Accra Hearts of Oak this term when they lock horns in this year's UBA-sponsored President's Cup at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Sunday.

Kotoko lost 0-1 in the Premier League to Hearts before being thrashed 3-1 by the Phobians in the first leg of a Ghana@60 anniversary game last April.

Whether to call them the main Black Stars or the second string team has been an identification struggle for many Ghanaians of Coach Kwasi Appiah’s team currently engaged in some international friendly matches in the United States.

Ghana coach James Kwasi Appiah was frustrated after his side's 1-0 defeat to Mexico in a friendly Wednesday, but it wasn't the result that seemed to bother him most.

The coach accused referee Baldomero Toledo of using profanity toward one of his players and also questioned why organizers assigned a Mexican-American official to oversee a game involving the Mexican national team.

Oh Lord of Mercy! Is it going to be another sad season for our beloved club, Accra Great Olympics, Oly Gbogbo, Oly Acapulco, Oly Dade, Oly Do-the-Do? My oh my, most of us who saw the rise and steady progress of the great club which came to replace Accra Standfast might have wished they would always stay in the top echelons of the national league to add to the high competitive core of the division.

Amazingly, over the weekend we woke up to find that all the three newly-promoted clubs that were ushered into the Premiership in the 2016/2017 season, Olympics, Elmina Sharks and Bolga All Stars were in the relegation zone, and the question that came to mind was why should it happen?

Ghana midfielder, Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu says he has received and is considering offers from a number of Chinese clubs for the Chinese Super Liga.

Having played for Udinese for seven seasons, the midfielder believes it’s time for a change and with China now, the lost lucrative destination, the 26-year-old star says he may look that way.

Godwin Attram says management of Accra Great Olympics has refused to accept his resignation letter despite his decision to leave the club as a coach..

Attram, who qualified the team for this season’s Ghana Premier League (GPL) and who led the team as a player-coach for a greater part of the first round, was made a deputy coach when Tom Strand was appointed just before the end of the first round, as management sought to halt the unimpressive performance of the Dade Boys.

Elmina Sea Lions and newcomers, Kumasi Sports Academy Ladies have taken this season’s National Women’s League (NWL) by storm and pose a real threat to the aspirations of the giants in the competition.

Not given a chance, Sea Lions, playing their second season in the competition, topped the southern zone at the end of the first round, while debutantes, Kumasi Sports Academy, are second in the northern zone, separated by only three points from leaders and defending champions, Ampem Darkoa.

Aduana Stars skipper, Godfred Saka, says he will be fit to play for his side when they welcome Liberty Professionals to their Ghana Premier League  (GPL) encounter at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park at Dormaa-Ahenkro on July 8.

According to Saka, he has made tremendous progress in his recovery and can not wait to rejoin his teammates for action as they pursue their GPL title chase this season.

Security will be beefed up at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi due to the expected presence of the President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, at this Year’s President’s Cup between Ghana’s biggest clubs, Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak,  on Sunday.

He and a host of ministers of state are expected to grace the match, annually organised by the Ghana League Clubs Association of Ghana (GHALCA), to celebrate Ghana’s republican status.

Ahead of Cameroun's 3-1 defeat to Germany in the FIFA Confederations Cup last Sunday, the Indomitable Lions might have taken encouragement from the fact that Germany coach Joachim Low had picked an unfamiliar team from his already experimental squad.

However, the same observation could have been made about Africa's champions, in that they'd also picked an under-strength XI.

Coach Kwasi Appiah will attempt to make history against Mexico today with a new-look side from the one that walloped Ethiopia 5-0 in a recent AFCON 2019 qualifier in Kumasi.

All things being equal, the unpredictable Kwasi Appiah could start today’s game at the NRG Stadium in Houston with four new faces as a way of giving other players a chance to prove themselves in his rebuilding agenda.

The first round matches of this year’s Stanbic Bank/Graphic Sports Table Tennis League took off on June 24 at the D.G. Hathiramani Sports Hall of the Accra Stadium.

The matches, which attracted many fans  saw some media houses  also engaging each other, as part of the curtain raisers to the keenly contested tennis league.
