On 4th January 2026, WAO Sport organized a special game in honour of Hon. Pious Ali at the Tesano Baptist Church Basketball Court.

The game served as a practical, on-field demonstration of WAO Sport, showcasing its gameplay structure, team dynamics, and innovation in a live setting. It provided an opportunity to experience WAO beyond concept—highlighting its potential as a structured, scalable, and engaging team sport.

We were also honoured by the presence of Mr. Gimbala, a staff member of the NBA team, San Antonio, who attended alongside Hon. Pious Ali. Their engagement and observations added valuable perspective as WAO continues its journey toward global recognition.

We appreciate the time, interest, and encouragement shared, and we remain committed to building WAO Sport as a platform for youth development, innovation, and international collaboration.

Honoured to engage in a strategic conversation with Councilor Pious Ali, a Ghanaian-American and Councilor-at-Large in the United States.

The meeting marked an important step for Project WAO. Councilor Ali has expressed his willingness to support WAO Sport by opening doors through his networks and connections, reinforcing our vision of building WAO into a globally recognized, technology-driven sport.

WAO Sport was created to drive youth development, innovation, job creation, and economic growth through sports, and partnerships like this strengthen our pathway from Ghana to the global stage.

We are grateful for the confidence, insight, and encouragement, and we look forward to translating conversations into impact.

The journey continues.
