Ghana Lacrosse launch 'Play for Your Motherland Campaign'

The sports development directorate of Ghana Lacrosse Association has today, the 20th of December 20204, launched a campaign to recruit the lacrosse players to represent Ghana at international competitions.

Both the male and female teams are in pole position to represent Ghana at the Under-20, Senior and Box lacrosse tournaments after Ghana Lacrosse became Full Members of World Lacrosse on 17th November 2024.

Two outstanding athletes from Coppin State University, Jacob Matey and Jason Bandoh played for the Senior Men's Team at this year's Wildfire Lacrosse Festival in Ghana and emerged as winners after beating teams from Ivory Coast, Togo, Benin and Burkina Faso.

Since then, young athletes and coaches of Ghanaian heritage all over the world have shown interest to help grow lacrosse in Ghana and represent their Motherland at international competitions.
