    There was a splen­did performance to herald the open­ing of the 28th Ghana Universities Sports Association (GUSA) games, currently on-going in Cape Coast.

    They would compete in ath­letics, beach volley ball, goalball, handball, hockey, basketball, foot­ball, netball, badminton, tennis and table tennis.

    The Vice Chancellor of UCC, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, lighted the games’ flame to official­ly kick-start the commencement of the 28th GUSA games.

    In an address, Prof. Boampong stated that the event was not just a series of competitions but pro­vides an opportunity for the teams to showcase their talents.

    The theme for the games, he explained, was a wake-up call for stakeholders to resource univer­sities with the state-of-the-art infrastructure to train talents for national and global sporting events.

    The President of GUSA, Shaibu Ibrahim Tanko, also noted that sports in universities were a vital catalyst for fostering unity, nurturing talent, and contributing to the socio-economic growth of the nation.

    He said university sports played a crucial role in developing well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to society.

    The Local Organising Com­mittee Chair, who was also the immediate past Pro Vice Chan­cellor of UCC, Prof. Rosemond Boohene, in her remarks, noted that the theme aligns with the core mission of universities to serve as catalysts for national growth.

    “University sports go beyond mere creation, they serve as a vital tool for nurturing talent, promot­ing.healthy lifestyles and instilling essential values such as discipline, teamwork, and resilience in our future leaders.”
