American internet sensation IShowSpeed added a burst of raw horsepower to his whirlwind visit to Ghana last week, as organisers of the Supercar Spectacle rolled out a thunderous, high-octane welcome at the iconic Black Star Square.

Against the backdrop of Accra’s most recognisable landmark, monster, gas-guzzling machines took centre stage, with a dazzling parade of high-performance supercars roaring into life before a packed and buzzing crowd. 

Carlos Alcaraz won a pulsating Australian Open final to become the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam — ending Novak Djokovic's latest attempt to land a 25th major title in the process.

The 22-year-old immediately collapsed on the court in celebration after clinching a 2-6 6-2 6-3 7-5 victory in Melbourne yesterday.

Despite his disappointment, Djokovic showed his sportsmanship by clambering over the net to warmly congratulate Alcaraz on creating a slice of history.

Ghana’s sprint king, Abdul-Rasheed Saminu, has officially shifted into top gear after sealing his first professional contract, signing a lucrative endorsement deal with Japanese sportswear giants ASICS.

The three-year agreement, running retrospectively from October 2025 to December 2028—with an option for 2029—marks a defining moment in the career of the man widely regarded as Ghana’s fastest ever and Africa’s third quickest over 100 metres.

Ghana star Thomas Teye Partey is facing an uncertain future in Spain, with his stint at Villarreal threatening to fizzle out well before expectations were met.

According to Spanish daily Marca, the experienced midfielder has fallen out of favour with head coach Marcelino García Toral, who is said to be deeply unimpressed by Partey’s form and influence since his arrival last summer.

According to Spanish media, Marcelino has already informed the club’s hierarchy that Partey is unlikely to be retained once his current deal expires, barring a dramatic late turnaround. The 32-year-old signed a two-year contract last summer, meaning the remainder of the campaign could prove decisive.

Accra Hearts of Oak failed to capitalise on a slip by league leaders, Medeama SC, after being held to a frustrating 0–0 draw by Bechem United in the Ghana Premier League at the University of Ghana Stadium, Legon, yesterday.

Following Medeama’s 2–1 defeat to Nations FC and Asante Kotoko’s 3–1 loss to Heart of Lions, Hearts missed a golden opportunity to move into second place on the table and close the gap on the leaders to five points ahead of next week’s crunch Super Clash against Kotoko in Kumasi.

The Phobians dominated proceedings from start to finish but once again lacked the cutting edge to break down a well-organised Bechem defence, settling for a share of the points after failing to score at home for the second league match this season.

Former champions Aduana FC and FC Samartex 1996 collide tomorrow in what has all the makings of a high-stakes Ghana Premier League showdown at the Nana Agyemang Badu I Park in Dormaa-Ahenkro.

Separated by just a single point on the table, this is a fixture loaded with consequence. Third-placed Aduana FC sit on 35 points and are desperate to keep the pressure on leaders Medeama SC, while Samartex arrive knowing a positive result could propel them firmly into the top-four conversation.

With Asante Kotoko, Aduana and Hearts of Oak all locked on 35 points, the margin for error is small. For the ‘Ogya’ team, this is an opportunity for vital points to break clear of the chasing pack and reassert themselves as genuine title contenders after surrendering an early-season grip on top spot that has allowed Medeama to open up an eight-point cushion.

he Ghana Army has rewarded its rising boxing star, Jerry Lartey, with a well-deserved promotion following his recent capture of the World Boxing Association (WBA) International Super Lightweight title, earning him high praise from President John Dramani Mahama, Commander-in-Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces.
