Cultural Games Assoc. to stage maiden national games …to climax Ghana’s Indece celebration
Come March 2024, Ghana will witness, perhaps one of the biggest sports carnivals in history when the Cultural Games Association (CGA) stages a week-long festival to make a momentous entry into Ghana’s sports scene.
The CGA is unknown to many sports enthusiasts in the country though it has been under the National Sports Authority (NSA) since 2018 and is enjoying a massive goodwill from the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the National Commission on Culture (NCC).
Among the traditional games captured under the CGA are ampe, Charles kele, catapult, sky ball, push boxing, ate, oware, amanball and African wrestling.
Though it may be a very young association comparing to the likes of football, athletics, boxing, taekwondo, cycling and others, but it has already stirred interest among a huge number of the youth, especially those based in the hinterlands.
