The newly constituted leadership of the Greater Accra Basketball League has officially kicked off its stakeholder engagement drive with a courtesy call on the Director of Physical Training and Sports, Colonel Richard Akoto, in Accra.
The visit marks an early step by the new executives to build strong institutional relationships ahead of the upcoming league season. Leading the delegation was Chairman Dr. Eric Opoku-Antwi, accompanied by Vice Chairman Patrick Nii Nuertey Ashamoa Noi, Secretary ASP Eva Kijoti Alhassan, Financial Secretary Richard Adjei Lartey, and Organising Secretary Nana Tuffour Afriyie.
Speaking during the meeting, Dr. Opoku-Antwi emphasized the importance of aligning the league’s vision with Ghana’s broader sports development agenda. He noted that the new administration is committed to professionalism, transparency, and deliberate efforts to grow basketball in the region.
“We are here not only to introduce ourselves but also to strengthen collaboration with key stakeholders whose support is essential to the success of the league,” he stated. He added that the executives are focused on delivering a more structured and competitive season that will create meaningful opportunities for players, officials, and the wider basketball community.
Colonel Akoto, in response, welcomed the team and commended them for taking the initiative to engage early. He highlighted stakeholder collaboration as a key pillar for sustaining sports development and encouraged the executives to prioritise discipline, organisation, and consistency in managing the league.
The meeting also explored critical areas such as access to facilities, technical development, and the support systems needed to elevate the standard of basketball in Ghana.
This engagement is expected to be the first of several as the new Greater Accra Basketball League leadership intensifies preparations for the upcoming season.
