The HD+ Kids Armwrestling championship, now the most exciting kids sport reality show moves to Takoradi for the second regional event at the Assembly Hall of the Archbishop Porter Girls’ Secondary School, on Saturday, September 17.
The championship is being held under the auspices of the Ghana Armwrestling Federation (GAF) in partnership with SES HD+ Ghana Limited.
Organisers say they would be expecting over 300 kids (boys and girls) between the ages of 12 and 16 to converge at the venue to compete for the region’s bragging rights and win cash prizes and goodies from the sponsors.
Selected students from some senior high schools in the region would also take part in the championship to book one of the 15 slots available in the region for the national finals in Accra.
Mr. Charles Osei Asibey, President of GAF in an interview with the GNA Sports said, “this falls in line with the World Armwrestling Federation’s initiative of developing the sport at the grassroots and introducing it to kids.”

The final regional event is expected to come off on October 7 in Kumasi, Ashanti Regional capital, then all top three winners in all categories meet for the national championship on October 28 in Accra.
