The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Sports Unit, under the leadership of Ebenezer Frimpong, has achieved unparalleled triumph in 2025, with the women’s hockey and basketball teams dominating national and international tournaments.
The hockey team, five-time African club champions, emerged victorious in all five competitions they entered, including the Africa Club Championships in Egypt, T-Tommy Tournament in Kumasi, Oguaa Fetu Championship in Cape Coast, Greater Accra League, and Greater Accra Knockout. The team’s unbeaten run was matched by individual honors, with Vivian Narkuor claiming Best Player and Top Scorer at the Africa Club Championships, 2025 Best Female Hockey Player at the SWAG awards, and Top Scorer in the Greater Accra League. Matilda Addison was named Best Goalkeeper.
The basketball team also enjoyed a stellar year, winning both the After 7 / Cowbell Championships in Cape Coast and the Greater Accra Basketball League without a single defeat. Hannah Amoako was named Most Valuable Player, Gloria Gyampo won Defensive Player of the Year, and Richard Borsah was recognized as Best Female Coach.
The Head of GRA Sports Unit, Ebenezer Frimpong, credited the team’s success to the dedication and perseverance of the technical staff and players. “These achievements are a testament to the unwavering commitment, passion, and hard work of the technical staff and the playing team,” he said.
He also acknowledged the support of GRA staff members and Top Management, led by Commissioner General Mr. Anthony Sarpong.
The GRA teams’ success is a reflection of the organisation’s commitment to sports development and talent promotion. As Frimpong noted, “The success story of GRA Sports would be incomplete without recognizing the support from the entire staff of the Authority, Top Management led by Commissioner General Mr. Anthony Sarpong.” Frimpong emphasized that it’s time for the country to view sports as an investment rather than an expense, and invest accordingly.
