The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Ladies hockey team dominated the 2025 Salpholda Hockey League, finishing the season with a perfect record of 33 points from 10 matches, winning all their games in both rounds.
They successfully defended their title, securing a place at the upcoming Africa Cup for Club Championship—although they had already earned an automatic spot as the defending African champions.
The team’s strong performance in the Greater Accra Hockey League has served as a major confidence booster ahead of continental competitions.
GRA Ladies have won the prestigious Africa Cup for Club Championship five times—in the 2017, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2025 editions—showcasing their dominance on the continental stage.
They remain the only Ghanaian hockey team to win the continental trophy.
The team was also recognized as Female Club of the Year, with their captain, Elizabeth Opoku, named Female Hockey Player of the Year.
The ladies have won all four competitions this year: the Africa Cup for Club Championship, the T-Tommy Tournament in Kumasi, the Oguaa Fetu Tournament in Cape Coast, and the GAHA League.
Meanwhile, the GRA men’s team placed second in the recently concluded league and won the men’s T-Tommy Tournament.
Under the leadership of Ebenezer Frimpong, the team has demonstrated strategic planning, strong motivation, and tactical discipline all of which have contributed to their success.
GRA management has provided both financial and moral support to the team, underscoring its commitment to promoting sports development in Ghana.
Addressing the media on Saturday, September 20, 2025, at the Hockey League Awards presentation, Frimpong expressed gratitude to the entire technical team for their tremendous contributions to the team’s victory.
According to him, the management of the Authority is committed to holistic talent development and sports promotion.
He mentioned that plans are already underway for the upcoming continental club championship early next year.
He also acknowledged the contributions of his predecessors
Dawson Amoah, Madam Angelina Ocran, and the late Benjamin Baafi.
“Though it is under my watch that we have annexed all these honours, the success story of GRA sports will be incomplete without acknowledging the three former Sports Directors. I thank the Commissioner General, top management and the entire staff of GRA for their support,” he added.
The GRA hockey team’s success, bolstered by technical support from coaches, has brought pride to Ghana and showcased the country’s sporting talent on the continental stage.
Frimpong further stated that although GRA’s core mandate is to mobilize revenue for national development, the Authority has gone the extra mile by using sports as a tool for national progress.
“The benefits of sports in the development of a nation are a key factor in building a strong economy. We at GRA will continue to use sports to support national development and urge everyone to come on board.
“A healthy people and a healthy environment are the hallmarks of a healthy country,” the Sports Director, Ebenezer Frimpong, emphasised.
