Sprite has been nominted for the ‘Best Schools Sports Contributor’ at the 2015 Ghana Excellence Awards.
The event set to be held on 26th December, 2015, will have prestigious organizations and individuals compete for various awards.
Coca-Cola, with its famous brand, Sprite, will compete with Dynamite Energy Drink, Accra Polytechnic and DPS International School for their contribution to sports in the year under review.
Operating under the umbrella of the world’s most recognizable brand Coca-Cola , Sprite has played an inspiring role in garnering support for basketball.
The company’s massive financial and logistical support have seen basketball rise rapidly from the doldrums to become the fastest growing sport in Ghana.
With their support, Sprite Ball- a basketball championship organized for senior high schools- is now the biggest and the most popular sporting event of the year. The championship which started out with schools based in Accra, now has schools drawn from eight regions competing for the title.
Sprite Ball started in 2007 and is now considered one of the best basketball tournaments in West Africa.
The Ghana Sports Excellence Awards established in 2014 by Hallmark Plus Multimedia, are awarded annually to sports people who have been outstanding during the year under review.
