Oware is more than a game, it is a reflection of African history, intelligence and community values. At Oware Society Ghana, we are committed to preserving this legacy while adapting it for modern audiences.
In the absence of organisations to develop the game, Oware Society Ghana steps up to task to promote its playing by, hosting tournaments, delivering workshops, setting standards and facilitating the establishment of regional associations and a national federation.
Our mission is to promote and develop Oware through education, competitions and community engagement while preserving its cultural significance.
Anyone with an interest in Oware, from beginners to experienced players, is welcome to join and be part of our growing community.
Members gain access to tournaments, training sessions, networking opportunities and a platform to grow their skills and connect globally.
You can register for upcoming events through our website calendar and participate in competitions, workshops and community activities.
We build a strong and inclusive community by connecting players through shared cultural appreciation.
