GRA targets hockey success at Africa Cup

The Director of Sports at the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), Mr. Ebenezer Frimpong, has expressed his team’s readiness to make a significant impact at the upcoming Africa Cup for Club Championships (ACCC).

The tournament, scheduled to run from January 30 to February 7, 2025, at the Youth City Hockey Stadium in Port Said, Egypt, will feature the GRA’s men’s and women’s hockey teams representing Ghana.

Mr. Frimpong, who also serves as the head coach of the Royal Ladies hockey team, is optimistic about defending their African title at the games. He highlighted the teams’ strong performance in the Greater Accra Hockey League, where they secured first and second places, as a major confidence booster ahead of the competition.

“We are poised to make a positive impact in Accra, and our players are optimistic about victory. We have outlined suitable measures to achieve our target, and we are confident that our preparations will pay off,” Frimpong said.

He also expressed gratitude for the support provided by the GRA management. “We are grateful for the financial and morale support we have received throughout the season and for the task ahead. The management’s backing has been instrumental in our success so far.”

Frimpong called on Ghanaians and hockey enthusiasts to rally behind the teams. “We urge all Ghanaians and hockey enthusiasts to support us as we embark on this journey. Your encouragement and cheers will go a long way in motivating us to bring glory to Ghana.”

As the GRA hockey teams prepare to face the continent’s top clubs, they are determined to leave a lasting impression and bring pride to Ghana.
