The most exciting recap of Sporting activities across the world. #DaybreakHitz | By Hitz 103.9 FM | The frame isn't new but is the lens? That's new, huh? Yeah. Uh. Why? Those frames look classic. Ah, thank you. Yeah. Thanks to Shades of Sam. How long have you had them? Uh, it's been a few months. Um, no, last month. Anybody that wears very thick frames. My frames are not thick. Shut up there. Anybody that wears very thick frames. They are not. Bad boy. No, no, no. We don't see things like that. Oh, you're bad. The best thing is, if if, if I don't find it, I better cut the button of the Coca Cola bottle and I can use it. Have you seen Fifi Kumson's frames? Fifi Kumsi. Eh, they're not that thick. Really? Yours are thicker. No. Look at yours. I said Dadoa. Yo, shut up. How you doing, man? I'm alright, bro. You're right, how are you? Hm. Good to see you, good to see you. Yeah, good to see you too. What's happening on the world of sports and we're going to go right into it. Okay. Randy, you ready? Very well, thank you. Are you ready for me? Mhm. Okay, let's go it. Let's do it. Now, beginning with this, you know, the African Games is still trending. Okay, the local organizing committee of the African Games. Uh they've been responding to claims by the minority that the gains were shambolic and the monumental failure and an embarrassment to Ghanaians. Now doctor Over Swasare is the chairman of the LOC. He says that the minority spokesperson on youth and sports eh committee of parliament claims that the games were a shambolic failure are untrue. And he's now challenged the MP to come up with alternative ways of developing sports infrastructure in the country if it's not hosting games. At any point in time, there will be challenges, financial, physical, how do you set your priorities? How does he want us to grow sports in Ghana? How does he want? He should come up with with options. That if we don't build facilities, now when you want to develop sports, you have to think of four pillars, the talents, the facilities, the coaches or trainers, and the resources. So if you don't try and harness all these areas, there's no way you can develop sports. Mm, so that's officials are in there. Now, let's stick with him because on Tuesday, some volunteers for the games clash with the police while protesting and demanding to be paid stipends before vacating their hostels at Lagon. Now says the volunteers were misinformed about the payment. I think it was miscommunication, misunderstanding, it didn't get well. Me, the first time I met her, he said, give me a definition of volunteers or volunteerism. Go and check the definition and the communication and the the what was given them, the the letter given, there was nothing like money, monetary, consideration, and whatever. And I don't think they came in because of course. But I think somewhere along the line, they got some of the things wrong. I won't fault to them for too much maybe misunderstanding and they were misinformed about some of these things that had the right information, I'm sure they wouldn't have conducted themselves the way they did. Mm, that's doctor Ofoshosare there. Eh, let's move on to football now, the Blaster slides, they are the toast of town now, everybody is talking about them, their head coach is this one of them. Philly, yeah, because of town. Yeah, toast of I said black satellites. Hey, Andy. Yeah, sure. I mean, yeah. Black now. Straight. Stars. Stars. Black satellites. The under 20 team, they are the toast of town. They won gold in the in the African Games. And now their head coaches Bonafe says he's targeting qualifying the team to the FIFA under 20 World Cup which will be held in Chile next year. It's day by day step by step let's say competition by competition. For us, the most important competition now is the because we really want to take partake in the next World Cup which is in twenty twenty-five. Uh next year in the summer. So, so we still have a lot of work to do fantastically. Now, we've got a good base and we can build on it. So, for now, step by step, the next objective is the is the is the waffle in October. Uh I heard I was in Togo so we're going to prepare really well. Uh we're going to scout again. Uh we're going to look for those hidden gems to come and help the team and yeah and help progressing to the world cup. Saying all the right things, Desmond Offe there. Uh the under seventeen, they are called Black Starlets. Uh they are going to be playing in the Wafu Zone B competition. And that competition is going to be hosted here in Accra. Uh in May, okay? Now, that was after Wafu selected Accra as the host city. The teams that will be participating in that competition are Ghana, Nigeria, Coach Devo, Bokina Faso, Togo Benny, and Niger, Laikins, team is already at Ghana. My soccer center of excellence in Pram Pram preparing for the competition which will take place between May 15 and 29 this year. Before that though, they will be in Russia to participate in the UEFA under 16 tournament where they are expected to play games against Russia, Serbia, and Kazakhstan. That will happen from April 23 to 29. Now from the Black Star, let's let's go to Andy's favorite team, the Black Stars. Their head coach is Otto Adam. Whatever. He says, the match international friendlies have given him answers to many questions he had about the team ahead of their crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in June. Now remember Ghana lost two one to Nigeria eh in a friendly in Morocco before drawing ah two all against Uganda on Tuesday in the same city. Here's Oduwado. We made a lot of changes also in the second game. For me it was important coming new. Haven't been there two years and to to to see where the players are standing and to give as much as I can, players a chance. Also good learning but also I got a lot of answers of on too many questions. It was very very much question or a lot of questions and this is this is this is good, this is positive and yeah, we have to work on on it now. We monitor the the players now in the next two months before we have the upcoming World Cup matches and yeah, we we we hope that they will learn out of the mistakes from today. Ochoado, remember Black Stars will play against Mali on June 3 before facing Central African Republic a week later in those World Cup qualifiers. Uh let's stay with the Black Stars because Nigerian midfielder Alex Iwobi says he was secretly hoping the Super Eagles would meet Ghana at some point at the Afcon in Ko d'voa. But the Blaster suffered a shock grip stage exit which did not please the Nigerian. I have a lot of that there's a lot of people that respect our Ghana so like I would like them to do. I have a lot of friends outside the team. Ghanaians. So, it's like almost like you want to, you want them to be well so you can play against them and prove a point in the competition but it's a shame because the way they exited with the sort of players they had was a bit, it was a bit sad to see and obviously, because we were in the same hotel, we can see how devastated they were, but of course, my main question is always going to be about Nigeria. As long as Nigeria is doing well, I don't, I'm not a really too concerned about any other nation. Hm, and let's see who will be there, let's move on to club football. Hearts of Folk have nominated new set of directors ahead of the club's annual general meeting. Controversial pair of Vincent Sua Odote and Doctor Nyao Tamaklo have been nominated to retain their positions on the board. While professor Ajiman Bedu Akosai, former flag bearer hopeful of the convention people's party joins the new board pending shareholders approval. They are joined by chief executive of the telecommunications chamber Ken Ashigbe. There was however no place for the famous Alhaji Akambi, meanwhile, chief executive of of the Ghana Tourism Authority Akwesaman has also been nominated. Now, Kumasa Sanduko tuko on the other hand, they've released a statement backing under fire coach Prosper Nate Ogum, amidst speculation, he was facing the sack following a run of poor results. The porcupine warriors have lost six of their last seven games which has seen the club drift further away from the top where they now trail the league leaders, some attacks by 10 points. A part of the statement says and I'm quoting it, the IMC acknowledges the concerns raised by our cherished supporters regarding our current situation, it must be placed on record that management is equally not pleased with our results and deem it unacceptable. However, the IMC is committed to ensuring that there is a quick turn around in our current fortunes on quote. Now let's do sports politics, former Ghana football association president is hinted that he could be testing in the Ejisu by-election. Andy Sawate. Hm. The seat became vacant following the demise of former deputy finance minister John Kuma. The gentleman has not even been buried yet. Hold on. Why the is serving a ban from all football related activities? Not giving socks more. Hold on. Football not the socks it is a leg ball yeah football where does the socks go to? Socks The socks ball. The socks is worn at The socks. Only. On the foot. Ah. The socks is not only one underfoot. Hey, I just remember. No, you see different types of socks. They are different, yes. And even without socks, it's also used to play ball. Yeah. In fact, a different kind of ball. That is the original World Cup. On a different pitch. Hey. On a different pitch. In a different stadium. Hey. Hey. Too much. You see. When you are playing deep. We a deep. And Kosija Tachi has decided to forego those warnings. Playing the other ball. Using socks. He was at the funeral in Ejoso where his mother is from. By the way. So people just ask him, would you be interested in contesting? He says, it's too early. We're doing a funeral but I'm not ruling it out. The Ejesu by election will definitely come on but a time table has not been published yet. So, we don't know those who want to contest. Since I come from there and I have the right to contest, at the right time, we'll see what will happen. By the moment, we are mourning the demise of eh very illustrious and of of the constituency The whole eh parliament, the member of parliament for the constituency is a big loss to the constituency and let's see what happens after the one week. I said after the one week, we will tell you whether we have plans or not. But it's possible. Yeah, it's possible. Hm. It's possible. He's also eligible to contest for eh, if he wants to, somewhere in Waa, that's where his father is from And his mother is from, the Ejiso area. Wrap up with this eh boxing. Abubakar Kamuku also known as ambitious tilapia, son of he's vowed to Adios to relax. Let me finish the story. Ambitious? Yes. I know. And you know his father. I know that's son, right? Yes. Yes. Do you want to listen to him talk first? Nobody. I think I heard him talk. He talks just like the dad, huh? Thank you. There you go. Like He has vowed to secure qualification for the 20twenty-four Olympic games. Ah the next qualifying event which will take place in Thailand in May. He won a silver medal at the just ended African games after losing the final bout. No Ghanaian boxer remember has qualified for Paris yet after participations in two qualifying tournaments in Senegal and Italy ended in disappointment for the country's amateur boxers. Ah ah amateur boxers. Kamoko though says he will break that jinx in May. Olympic peace qualified at at Thailand. I'm going to qualify for Ghana. We went to Senegal. We didn't qualify.
