G.O Sports Academy absorbs Akro Heroes Football Club
Akro Heroes FC, a juvenile and division two football franchise from Somanya in the Eastern region has merged with G.O Sports Academy under an agreement signed between the two outfits.
Under the agreement, G. O. Sports and Akro Heroes’ managements, retain 70 per cent and 30 per cent shares respectively in managing the Eastern regional branch of the Sports Academy.
The agreement effectively absorbs Akro Heroes’ division two and Under-13, 15 and 17 juvenile sides as part of the G. O. Sports brand.
The arrangement also entrusts financial responsibility and brand development in the Eastern region to G. O. Sports with Mr Geoffrey Akro as Head Coach.
With this new development, G.O Sports currently has projects in five regions – Greater Accra, Ashanti, Oti, Eastern and Volta regions.
According to President of G.O. Sports, Mr George Ofori, it is the utmost wish of his brand to give every young boy an educational opportunity, using football to bring young children back into the classroom.
“Aside seeking to provide a glittering future to the children through football, we’re also determined to provide them a huge opportunity to tap their talent in education as well,” he stressed.
The merger means G.O Sports Academy will maintain two division two teams in Eastern and Volta regions.
The teams will be fed by players of the juvenile sides from the five regions.
He called on the club’s supporters to access information through the club’s social media handles on Facebook at Avatime Football Club/G.O Sports Academy Biakpa; YouTube at G.O. Sports Academy Avatime and Twitter at G.O Sports Academy Avatime.
G.O Sports currently runs four residential facilities in three regions: one each in Oti (Krachi) and Eastern (Somanya) and two in the Volta (Hlefi and Avatime Biakpa).

Management of Asempa FM has issued a public apology to the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Kofi Adams, after wrongly quoting him in a recent publication about the selection of players for the Black Stars.
In a statement released by the station’s management, Asempa FM admitted that a quote card shared after Kofi Adams’ interview on Ultimate Sports Show on 13th October 2025 misrepresented his actual remarks.
According to the station, the error created a wrong impression that the Sports Minister was directly involved in selecting players for the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“The wording on the artwork may have created a misleading impression. For clarity, the Honorable Minister stated that the final decision on player selection rests solely with the technical team, and he emphasized the importance of transparency and merit-based selection,” the statement said.
Asempa FM expressed deep regret for the misrepresentation and apologized to Kofi Adams and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The management further assured the public that the station would take steps to ensure greater accuracy and care in its future communications.
“We hold Kofi Adams and his office in the highest regard and deeply regret any inconvenience or misunderstanding caused,” the statement concluded.

When Otto Addo took charge, Ghana sat fourth in Group I with just three points from two matches — a situation that seemed daunting for even the most optimistic fans. But what followed was one of the most remarkable turnarounds in African World Cup qualifying history.
Addo’s arrival brought renewed tactical clarity and belief. He restructured the team’s shape, redefined roles, and instilled discipline in both defense and attack. The results began to flow as Ghana went on an astonishing run of victories.
The coach’s calm leadership was crucial in restoring confidence to key players who had lost form. Veterans found new motivation, while youngsters flourished under his guidance, creating a perfect blend of maturity and energy.
Each win became a statement of intent — that Ghana was back. The team’s comeback victories over tough opponents like Mali and Central African Republic showed resilience and mental fortitude.
By the end of the campaign, the Black Stars had climbed from fourth to first, topping the group with 25 points and a +17-goal difference — a clear testament to Otto Addo’s transformational leadership.
This turnaround will go down in Ghana’s football annals as a story of hope, determination, and tactical brilliance that brought the nation back to the world stage.
