On Saturday, 19th July 2025, the Kotobabi Wembley Sports Complex in Accra was the place to be. Buzzing with energy, excitement, and local pride, the stadium hosted the much-anticipated second edition of the PrideSpins Community Football Gala - a celebration of grassroots football, youth empowerment, and communal spirit.

After the overwhelming success of the inaugural event in 2024, expectations were high, and the PrideSpins Community Gala didn’t disappoint. The 2025 gala took the event to new heights, further solidifying PrideSpins’ growing legacy as one of the leading supporters of grassroots sports development in Ghana.

A Clash of Local Football Titans

• Kaneshie Station FC

• Shaolin FC

• 6 Gods

• Racco FC

• NDC FC

• Jamaica 11

• Parliament Boys

• Obutu Road

Each team is part of PrideSpins Community Football Jersey Giveaway and now the gala aimed for all eight teams to showcase their talent. All teams brought flair, passion, and impressive tactical play to the pitch. From dazzling dribbles to dramatic saves and last-minute goals, spectators were treated to a day full of nail-biting action and unforgettable football moments. The tournament wasn't just about winning it was moreover about community pride, sportsmanship, and showcasing the immense pool of talent that Ghana’s streets, schools, and neighbourhoods continue to produce.

In the end, three standout teams took home the top honours:

• Champions: GHS 3,000

• Runners-up: GHS 2,000

• Third Place: GHS 1,000

But true to the PrideSpins spirit, every participating team was rewarded. Branded team jerseys, customised gift bags, and exciting merchandise were handed out. Therefore no one left empty-handed, and everyone felt appreciated for their role in making the event special.

Entertainment On and Off the Pitch

While the football action took centre stage, the PrideSpins Gala had much more to offer than just what happened on the field. One of the biggest attractions this year was the debut of Ghana’s first outdoor Plinko board.

Our PrideSpins Plinko board is a thrilling and colourful addition that instantly captured the attention of the crowd. Fans lined up to drop chips down the towering board, hoping for a lucky bounce and a chance to win exciting instant prizes. The Plinko board created a carnival-like atmosphere, and its popularity signals that it may become a regular fixture at future PrideSpins events.

In addition to Plinko, spectators enjoyed:

• Darts competitions

• Side games and mini challenges

• Music and dance performances

• Free giveaways and food stalls

This fusion of sports, games as well as entertainment created a well-rounded experience for attendees of all ages. Families, local leaders, football enthusiasts and casual fans all found something to enjoy, making it more than a tournament. The 2025 PrideSpins Gala was a true community celebration.
