The city of Tamale is set to host another exciting edition of the Damba Table Tennis Championship on May 30, 2026, at the Tamale Senior High School Old Assembly Hall.
The championship, which continues to gain popularity, is expected to attract some of Ghana’s top table tennis players in both the men’s and women’s categories for what promises to be a highly competitive tournament.
Organisers have announced attractive prize packages for participants, with winners in both the men’s and women’s singles events set to receive GHS10,000 each.
Runners-up in both categories will take home GHS5,000, while joint third-place finishers will receive GHS3,000 each.
In a move aimed at promoting player welfare and ensuring a memorable experience, organisers will provide free accommodation for players and officials throughout the competition. Participants will also enjoy free breakfast, lunch and dinner during the tournament.
One of the major highlights of this year’s championship is a special safari experience at Mole National Park for the top 16 players, adding a tourism and cultural dimension to the event.
The Damba Table Tennis Championship has grown into one of the notable tournaments on Ghana’s local table tennis calendar following two successful editions.
In the maiden edition, Emmanuel Ofori defeated Reginald Addo Ankamah of Table Tennis Hawks to win the men’s title, while Eva Adom-Amankwaa overcame Cecelia Fremah to clinch the women’s trophy.
The second edition saw James Marfo capture the men’s crown, while Augustina Baidoo emerged victorious in the women’s category.
With its growing reputation for quality organisation, hospitality and competitive matches, this year’s championship is expected to further promote the development of table tennis in Northern Ghana while giving players a platform to showcase their talent.
The tournament is also expected to strengthen sports tourism in the region by blending competitive table tennis with the rich cultural atmosphere of Tamale and the unique experience of visiting Mole National Park.
As anticipation builds ahead of the May 30 showdown, players and fans alike will be looking forward to another memorable edition of the Damba Table Tennis Championship.
