On June 21st, 2025, the Accra Sports Stadium came alive with energy, laughter, and a spirit of discovery as young athletes were introduced to the exciting world of cricket during the Olympic Day celebrations. In a vibrant display of unity and sporting excellence, the event - organized by the Ghana Olympic Committee - highlighted the Olympic values of excellence, respect, and friendship, while creating space for a new sporting journey to begin.

With eager hearts and open minds, dozens of participants, mostly children under the age of 17, took to the field to learn the fundamentals of cricket, many for the very first time. From mastering the art of batting and bowling to understanding the spirit of teamwork in fielding, it was more than just an introduction; it was an invitation to dream.

This special initiative was not just about learning a new game, but about igniting curiosity and confidence through sport. Coaches and volunteers, passionate about growing the game in Ghana, patiently guided the children through drills and mini-matches, ensuring every participant felt seen, supported, and inspired.



As part of a global Olympic Day tradition, the celebration serves as a reminder that sport is a powerful tool for inclusion, education, and empowerment. For Ghana, embracing cricket marks an exciting step toward diversifying its sporting identity and creating new pathways for young talent, coaches, and communities to thrive.



The organizers extended heartfelt appreciation to all the participants, coaches, and volunteers who made the event a success. Their collective efforts planted the seeds of passion that may one day grow into national pride and perhaps even future Olympic dreams.
