Africa Soccer Fiesta airs on GTV Sports+ tonight
The fifth edition of the 13-part sports documentary series dubbed African Soccer Fiesta will be aired on GTV Sports+ tonight at 8 pm
Tonight’s thrilling programme is anchored by a veteran sports presenter and lawyer. Mr Moses Foh Amoaning will take viewers on a journey through AFCON memory lane, beginning with the 1972 tournament staged in Cameroon and won by Congo Brazaville led by the mercurial Francois Mpele and Nbono Sosio.
The 1974 AFCON held in Egypt was dominated by a Zaire side that had been built over eight years by the infamous Mobutu Sese Seko.
The then Zaire strongman, according to Mr Foh Amoaning, took copious notes from Ghana’s first president, Kwame Nkrumah’s model of Real Republicans.
Mr Amoaning said following the success of the Real Republicans concept, Mr Sese Seko formed a club side and named it Englebert Club, a side that served as the base for the all-conquering 1974 team that made history as the first black African team to qualify for the 1974 World Cup in Germany.
“The young football aficionados can not miss the timeless archival footage that highlights the superlative skills of Guinea’s Amara toure, Papa Camara and Bengally Sylla in the 1976 edition of the tournament.
Unfortunately, the Syli National of Guinea was pipped to the ultimate African football diadem by the Atlas Lions of Morocco.
Mr Foh Amoaning said tonight’s edition will feature Coach Christopher Nimley who will throw his ubiquitous tactical searchlights on the Super Eagles of Nigeria and loyal viewers of the series to be made aware of the winners of the preceding four programmes.
The African Soccer Fiesta is shown live on Fridays with a repeat on Wednesdays and is sponsored by Hisense.
The Diaspora Affairs Office at the Office of the President has hosted a delegation of African diaspora women who are in Ghana ahead of a planned Presidential Conferment of Citizenship ceremony.
The Director of Diaspora Affairs, Kofi Okyere Darko, explained in a Facebook post that the visit was a gesture of appreciation by the delegation to the Government of Ghana for its continued efforts to reconnect Africans in the diaspora with their ancestral homeland.
He indicated that the ceremony, scheduled for next Monday, will officially grant Ghanaian citizenship to members of the delegation as part of the country’s broader engagement with the African diaspora.
The delegation was led by Erica Bennett, Founder of the Diaspora Africa Forum.
According to Mr Okyere Darko, her years of advocacy have played an important role in strengthening ties between Africa and people of African descent living abroad.
He noted that the group’s journey towards citizenship represents not only a legal process but also a cultural and spiritual return to their roots.
Also present at the meeting was Natalie Jackson, an attorney who is also expected to receive Ghanaian citizenship during the ceremony. She works closely with renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump.
Mr Okyere Darko emphasised that Ghana remains committed to strengthening relationships with the African diaspora and promoting unity, identity, and shared heritage among people of African descent worldwide.

Ghana Tourism Authority is leading Ghana’s participation at ITB Berlin, which opened in Berlin with a vibrant national pavilion highlighting Ghana’s rich cultural heritage, tourism destinations and investment opportunities.
March 5 has been designated as Ghana Day, a special platform to promote Ghana’s languages, cuisine, Kente, festivals and business prospects to the global tourism community. The stand has already drawn strong interest with traditional arts and crafts displays, immersive multimedia presentations and popular Ghanaian snacks.
Seven private-sector players are exhibiting alongside government officials as part of efforts to deepen trade partnerships, expand market access, and attract investment across the hospitality, heritage tourism, ecotourism, and creative arts sectors.
Ahead of the official opening, the Ghana delegation also engaged young Ghanaian investors in Germany in collaboration with V Afrika-Verein and the Ghana Embassy, strengthening diaspora investment linkages and highlighting opportunities within the tourism value chain.
Ghana’s coordinated presence at ITB Berlin 2026 reinforces its strategy to position the country as the Gateway to Africa and a competitive destination for leisure travel and global investment.
