Rugby Rising Play Greater Accra Festival 🏉

On 1st April, the Rugby Rising Play Greater Accra Festival successfully held in the Weija-Gbawe Municipality, brought together over 350 girls in a powerful celebration of sport, education, and empowerment.

The program focused on developing young girls through rugby, promoting confidence, discipline, teamwork, and leadership both on and off the field.

Reproductive and menstrual health sessions were delivered by Victoria N. Mensah (Public Health Nurse) and Stella Odoom from Gbawe Health Centre, equipping participants with essential knowledge on personal health and informed decision-making.

The rugby session was led by Rachel Ankomah, alongside Samira Mensah and Moses Agbenu, providing an engaging and practical introduction to the game.

The event was supported by Matilda Clottey (Municipal Sports Director), as well as dedicated teachers including Dankyi Ernest Owusu, Isiffu Musah, Suleman Baba, Michael Bansar, and Teddy Pokoo, highlighting strong institutional support.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all partners, sponsors, and stakeholders whose support made this impactful initiative possible.
Special thanks to Coach Collin for the generous donation of kits and equipment to the schools.

Overall, the festival successfully combined rugby, health education, and community collaboration to empower the next generation of girls.

Happy International Women’s Day! 🌸
Behind every scrum, every try, every victory in Greater Accra is a woman who showed up and gave her all. Today we celebrate those who blazed the trail and those just finding their feet on the pitch.

Here’s to the women who play hard, lead well, and inspire the next generation. 🏉✨
