LCB Worldwide Ghana Ltd, the tournament organiser, is a key player in Ghana’s public health and safety sector, contracted by the Ministry of Health and Ghana Health Service to oversee the disinfection of import and export cargo at ports and other entry points across the country.
During the COVID-19 outbreak in 2019, LCB played a crucial role in Ghana’s pandemic response, leading disinfection efforts across markets, schools, and hospitals, and continues to support secondary schools through free disinfection services to combat bedbug infestations.
It also partners with organisations like the Ghana Union of Traders’ Association (GUTA) to sanitise public spaces and prevent disease outbreaks.
As the tournament progresses, participants and the corporate world watch with keen interest to see if the GPHA Fire Department team will be able to successfully defend their title.
