Four senior high schools in the Upper East Region are set to compete in the maiden edition of the HKT Girls Football Tournament, scheduled for Saturday, November 21, 2026, at the Bolgatanga Mobile Astro Turf.
The one-day competition, organised by celebrated sports journalist and Head of the Gender Desk at A1 Radio, Humul Khumsul Tahiru, seeks to promote girls’ participation in football and provide a platform for young female footballers to showcase their talents.
Held under the theme, “Kicking Barriers, Scoring Dreams,” the tournament aims to encourage confidence, teamwork and greater participation of girls in competitive football.
The participating schools are Bolgatanga Girls Senior High School (BOGISS), Bolgatanga Senior High School (Big BOSS), Zamse Senior High/Technical School (ZAMSTECH) and Zuarungu Senior High School (ZUSS).
The four schools will be drawn into two semifinal fixtures, with the winners advancing to the final to compete for the championship.
The losing semifinalists will face each other in a third-place playoff to determine the tournament’s third and fourth positions.
The competition is expected to provide an opportunity for young female footballers to demonstrate their skills while promoting sportsmanship and healthy competition among participating schools.
The maiden HKT Girls Football Tournament will also seek to inspire more girls to take an interest in football and pursue opportunities in the sport.
