Over two hundred table tennis players across the country, especially those in Accra, are expected to converge at the D. G. Hathramani Sports Hall tomorrow for this year’s Homowo Table Tennis Championship.
The one-day competition, which is an annual tournament, is designed to celebrate the Ga Homowo Festival with the chiefs and people of the Ga Traditional Area and its neighbouring towns – Osu, La, Nungua, Teshie, Tema New Town among others. The competition will be staged by the leadership of the Greater Accra Table Tennis Association, with sponsorship from TT Brothers Limited, and be played under the rules of the table tennis governing body in the country.
The championship will be played in two categories – U-18 and main division, with the men and ladies as the main tournament demanding factor. Speaking with a section of the media ahead of tomorrow’s event, the President of the Greater Accra Table Tennis, Solomon Akonnor, mentioned that feverish preparations are underway to ensure a successful competition.
According to Akonnor, following the success of their last competition and the ongoing Greater Accra table tennis league, much will be expected from the players.
He added that the tournament will also afford players the platform to battle for the attractive prizes at stake, not forgetting the bragging rights.
The head of Human Resource and Commercial Manager at TT Brothers Limited, Princess Otchere, indicated that her outfit decided to support the Homowo Table Tennis Championship as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility and contribution towards sports development in the country.
She said TT Brothers Limited is well noted for their association with sports in Ghana, especially with disciplines like football, boxing, and weightlifting, hoping that their investment into the table tennis competition will help enhance and develop talents for the country.
Matches of the Homowo table tennis championship will be witnessed by veteran players and active players of the national team.
At stake for winners are trophies, medals and products from the sponsors.
