The Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), in collaboration with the University of Media, Arts and Communication Students’ Representative Council (UniMAC-SRC) Gender Affairs Office, has successfully organised a Breast Cancer Awareness and Free Breast Screening exercise for students at the UniMAC-IFT campus in Cantonments.

The event, held on Friday, October 30, 2026, formed part of activities marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with a focus on promoting breast health, encouraging early detection and making screening services accessible to students.

Members and executives of SWAG, comprising sports journalists from across the media landscape, were present to support the initiative. Among the notable personalities in attendance was veteran sports journalist Rosalind Amoh, whose presence added to the gathering of media professionals championing the cause.

Executives of the UniMAC-SRC were also present, demonstrating the students’ leadership support for the initiative and its commitment to promoting the health and well-being of the student community.

A major highlight of the programme was the successful screening of participants, with both students and non-students benefiting from the free exercise. The initiative provided an opportunity for members of the university community and others in attendance to take a proactive step towards understanding and monitoring their breast health.

Beyond the screening exercise, the initiative served as an important reminder that breast cancer awareness should go beyond conversations and campaigns. Regular breast awareness, timely medical attention and early detection remain important in the fight against the disease.

The collaboration between SWAG and the UniMAC-SRC Gender Affairs Office also highlighted the role professional associations and student leadership can play in supporting health education and community-focused initiatives.

Ghana Premier League side Aduana Stars host regional rivals Berekum Chelsea on Sunday, 1 November 2026, at the Agyeman Badu Stadium in Dormaa Ahenkro in a classic Bono derby.

The Ogya Boys sit seventh in the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League table with 13 points from eight matches (4 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses) under the leadership of Samuel Boadu.

Predictions: Aduana 1-0 Berekum Chelsea 

The Confédération Africaine de Football (“CAF”) Executive Committee (“EXCO”) today unanimously decided that the CAF Africa Cup of Nations (“AFCON”) will return to taking place every Two Years.

The President of CAF Dr Patrice Motsepe announced at the CAF Strategy Conference in Cabo Verde which was held from 7-9 October 2026, that the CAF EXCO would be re-assessing and reconsidering the decision it took last year, for the AFCON to take place every Four Years.

This reassessment and reconsideration was necessitated by, amongst other matters, the recognition that the proposed new Africa Nations League Pan-African Competition which was supposed to replace the current AFCON and take place every two years, would require several years in order to be in a position, to contribute the substantial financial resources necessary, for the CAF Competitions and African Football to be globally competitive and self-supporting.

The CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe said: “The decision by the CAF EXCO that the CAF AFCON should take place every Two Years was based on advancing, protecting and promoting the interest of African Football and CAF’s 54 Member Associations, as well as the interest of African players employed by Football Clubs outside Africa.

The next TotalEnergies CAF AFCON will take place in 2027 in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda

The subsequent AFCONs thereafter will take place in 2028, 2031 and 2033.
