Over the weekend, pupils from the Future Leaders School in Accra attended the first ever Tri-Nation Rugby League Festival at the University of Ghana Rugby Stadium.
The Ghanaian Times described the excitment: “The Tri-Nation Rugby League Festival opened in emphatic fashion in Accra as Ghana and Nigeria produced two action-packed international fixtures in the women’s and men’s divisions. With the festival featuring two national teams—Ghana and Nigeria—and one international club, Roots Rugby from the USA, the opening day delivered the intensity, physicality, and excitement expected of top-level rugby league.”
For many of the children, it was their first time watching live rugby league, and their excitement was infectious! They cheered, asked questions, learned new things, and soaked in every moment.
A heartfelt thank you to @rugbyleagueghana for hosting us and for creating opportunities that continue to shape brighter futures through sport.
