Accra Academy defend ODADEƐ ’90 5-a-side title
Seven schools took part in this year’s competition, which brought together old students for a day of football, friendship and celebration.
Accra Academy successfully defended their ODADEƐ ’90 5-a-side tournament title by defeating Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC) with a score of 4-0 in the final held at Accra Academy AstroTurf park. The Bleoo Boys not only retained the trophy but also claimed the inaugural edition last year when PRESEC was the host. The annual competition featured seven schools, uniting former students for a day of football, camaraderie, and merriment.
The tournament served as a platform for old students to reunite, reconnect, and reminisce through music, dancing, food, and entertainment. Amos Jkieh, captain of the 1992 year group representing Accra Academy, already set his sights on a third consecutive victory. "We won the title last year when PRESEC hosted it and again this year.
Our goal is to keep the cup when we travel to Kumasi next year, where it will be hosted by Opoku Ware and Prempeh College," he expressed. Brigadier General Lawrence Deku, the president of the ODADEƐ ’90 year group, emphasized that the event transcends football. "This event is about bringing everyone together, fostering friendship, and promoting good spirits.
At our age of 50-plus, we utilize such platforms to stay active," he stated. The forthcoming edition of the ODADEƐ ’90 5-a-side tournament will be hosted in Kumasi, with Opoku Ware School and Prempeh College set to take part.
