SWAG CELEBRATES MILESTONE, AS IT COMMEMORATIVES IT’S 56TH BIRTHDAY


The Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), on Saturday 3, 2024 celebrated a major milestone in existence as a mother body of sports association in Ghana as it commemorated its 56th anniversary in a sublime style.

In a statement issued on Saturday, read- “In commemorating 56 years of existence and vibrant membership, we are proud to say that, SWAG is a body of several hundreds of active members operating across the country, a testament to the visionary leaders and celebrated journalists who played instrumental roles in forming this great association in 1968”.

The statement however, paid a glowing tribute to patrons and former astute servants of the association in the name of Joe Aggrey, Willie Kwarteng, Yaw Boakye Ofori-Attah, Ben Eghan jnr, Kingsley Obeng, Nana Addo-Twum and Ken Bediako who have all laid a strong foundation in the past for the growth of the association.


In 56 years of existence and still counting as a mother body, the association has been at the forefront of developing and promoting sports in Ghana through the consistent honoring of sports excellence, effective sports journalism and dedicated service to it’s members and the sports community as a whole.

In furtherance, the statement also honored in mention, past and present leaders, such as Oheneba Charles, Joe Aggrey, Ebo Quansah, Ackah Anthony, Joe Lartey, Willie Kwarteng and currently Kwabena Yeboah for their dedicated service and giving up their time, effort and energy to build the association to it’s current enviable position.

The association with a humble beginning of just twelve (12) members, has since grown with a current membership of about One thousand (1,000) both in Ghana and beyond, a major credit under the reign of Kwabena Yeboah as president with his past and present executives like Maurice Quansah, Charles Osei Asibey, Sometymer Otuo Acheampong, Roseline Amoh, just to mention a few, to decentralise the operations of the SWAG across the country and beyond by establishing SWAG chapters in Ashanti region, Northern, Eastern, Volta, Western and recently Central region of Ghana in addition to the USA chapter.
