Ghana will be represented at the 8th edition of the Association of International Sports Press (AIPS) Africa Congress in Banjul, The Gambia, from February 6 to 9, 2026.

The national body, the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), will be represented at the congress by Mr Charles Osei Asibey, Secretary-General of SWAG.

The congress, being organised under the theme “Digital Media, AI, and Ethical Journalism in Africa,” will be held at the Sir Dawda Kairaba Jawara International Conference Centre in Bijilo.

The congress will provide an opportunity for sports journalists across the continent to learn, network and grow professionally. This, according to continental leaders of the association, will strengthen the future of sports journalism in Africa.

Top guests expected to attend the event include His Excellency Adama Barrow, President of The Gambia; Mr Gianni Merlo, President of AIPS; Ghana’s Sports Minister, Hon. Kofi Adams; sports ministers from Senegal, Mali and Nigeria, as well as other continental sports icons.

Over the years, AIPS has protected the rights of sports journalists, promoted professionalism and ethics, built capacity, and created platforms for learning, networking and the overall development of sports journalism.

The AIPS Africa Congress aims to bring together sports journalists and key stakeholders from across the continent to deliberate, collaborate and shape the future of African sports journalism.
