SWAG introduces new Student Athlete category to inspire young talent

Published on: 22 January 2025

The General Secretary of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), Mr. Charles Osei Assibey, has announced an exciting addition to this year’s awards event—a new category dedicated to student athletes.

In an interview with Peace FM, as monitored by Ghanasoccernet.com, Mr. Assibey explained the rationale behind this initiative. “We have introduced a category called the student category. We have awarded professionals for a long time. The student athletes—Ghanaian boys and girls that run in senior high and university levels—we will recognize them to encourage them,” he said.

This new focus aligns with the event’s theme, Gold and Glory: A Call for National Orientation in Sports and Investment. Mr. Assibey emphasized that achieving glory in sports requires a collective mindset shift and significant investment in nurturing talent at all levels.

“When we invest, there will be results. SWAG honors the best to inspire the rest,” he concluded.
