Gyan, Bawumia launch All Regional Games at Baba Yara stadium

On Saturday, July 6, 2024, former Ghana international Asamoah Gyan and his team officially launched the All Regional Games at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.

This new competition aims to discover and develop talent across various sporting disciplines, including football, athletics, volleyball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, boxing, Esports, and arm-wrestling.

The event, which had been generating excitement among fans for weeks, featured Vice President of Ghana and New Patriotic Party flagbearer Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia as the special guest.

Other notable attendees included Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif, Director General of the National Sports Authority Numekevor Dodzie, and several of Gyan’s former teammates.

Adding to the event’s vibrancy, comedian Ras Nene (also known as Dr. Likee) and musicians Fancy Gadam, Guru, and Wendy Shay entertained the crowd.

The launch drew hundreds of fans eager to support the former Black Stars captain’s new initiative.

Earlier, during a press launch in April, Gyan and his team announced that each region would conduct trials to identify their top athletes, aged 18 to 23, who will then compete against counterparts from other regions.

The competition dates are yet to be announced.
