Football
Since football was introduced to Ghana’s coast by European merchants in the 19th century, the popularity of the sport has gone from strength to strength. Many regard the national team as the best in the continent. By far the country’s number one sport, football borders on religion for most of the population. The Ghana Football Association is based in Accra, but there are hundreds of local teams across the country. Volunteer organisations have been set up all over, organising football teams and arranging coaching with help from international workers. Get involved with one of these projects to help out during your stay, or just enjoy a kick-about on the street.
