Held at the Eden Heights Sports Complex in Weija on September 28, the success was the seventh overall best feat chalked by the bank at the event which brought together over 60 institutions to compete in a wide range of sporting disciplines this year.
Participating companies engaged in keen competition for the most coveted title in disciplines were football, table tennis, volleyball, armwrestling, chess, lime and spoon, and tug of war.
The GCB sports team won a staggering nine awards, including six gold, one silver, and two bronze medals, cementing its place as the overall winner.

“We promised, and we have delivered! We simply demonstrated a true sign of resilience as Ghana’s dominant bank, even in sports. As reigning champions, we were geared up to retain our title and set a record – the first and only organisation to win the competition back-to-back seven consecutive times,” one sportsman remarked in excitement.
