In the heart of Lashibi, the air buzzed with anticipation as Ahotor FM’s flagship program, AhotorSports Quiz, the 2025 edition, reached its crescendo. The semifinals, held on April 16 and 23, 2025, delivered a spectacle of intellect, passion, and sports trivia mastery, setting the stage for a grand finale that promises to captivate audiences across the region.
With the finalists now confirmed, the countdown to May 31—a date that coincides with the UEFA Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in Munich—has begun.
Semifinals: A Battle of Wits
The first semifinal, held on April 16, 2025, saw Doyume’s Isaac Botwe rise above the fray. A sports enthusiast with a razor-sharp memory, Isaac clinched victory with an impressive 15 points, outpacing his rivals Bright and Bismark Labi from Michel Camp, who both finished with a respectable 12 points.
Isaac’s performance was a masterclass in composure, as he navigated questions spanning football, athletics, and obscure sports history with ease. His qualification for the finals sent ripples of excitement through Doyume, where locals hailed him as their champion-in-waiting.
The second semifinal, concluding late in the afternoon on April 23, was nothing short of electrifying. Defending champion Torvor Foster, based in Afienya, delivered a near-flawless performance that left listeners in awe.
Answering nine out of ten questions correctly, Torvor amassed a staggering 27 points out of a possible 30, securing his spot in the finals with authority. His dominance was a reminder of why he claimed the title in 2024, and his confident demeanor hinted at a man determined to retain his crown.
Challenging Torvor were Nsawam Adoagire’s Salomey Apanyin, the only female contender in the competition, and Dodowa’s Caleb Laryea. Salomey, a beacon of inspiration for young women in the region, fought valiantly, scoring 15 points.
Though her tally wasn’t enough to advance, her poise and knowledge earned her widespread admiration. Caleb Laryea, however, emerged as the dark horse of the day, clinching the runner-up spot with 21 points. His qualification as the second-best performer across the semifinals ensured that Dodowa would have a representative in the finals.
