In the studios of Ahotor FM in Lashibi, Tema, excitement filled the air on late afternoon of Wednesday, May 28, 2025, as the AhotorSports Quiz grand finale unfolded, expertly moderated by seasoned sports commentator Akavani Andrew Abasinga.
The event, originally slated for May 31 to align with the UEFA Champions League final, was rescheduled four days earlier due to a shift in coverage plans for the Inter Milan versus PSG showdown in Akwatia, Eastern Region.
Far from dampening the spirit, the change only heightened the fervor, as sports enthusiasts across Ghana tuned in from 17:00 to 18:00 GMT to witness a clash of wits that rivaled the intensity of any pitchside battle.
The stage was set for a thrilling contest, with defending champion Torvor Foster facing off against two formidable debutants, Caleb Laryea and Isaac Botwe.
The trio, having outshone their peers in earlier rounds, brought their A-game to the finale, each fueled by a passion for sports trivia and the pride of representing their communities.
The quiz format was designed to test both speed and depth: the first round challenged contestants with ten questions each, 30 seconds per answer, while the second round introduced a strategic twist—main questions worth three points, with unanswered ones passed as one-point bonuses to the next contestant.
The stakes were high, the prizes tantalizing: a 32-inch television set, a kettle, an electric iron, and coveted AhotorFM-branded jerseys awaited the victors.
Torvor Foster, the pride of Afienya, entered the studio with the quiet confidence of a seasoned champion. His performance in the semi-finals, where he scored an impressive 27 out of 30 points, had already cemented his reputation as a trivia titan.
In the first round, he was nothing short of spectacular, answering nine of ten questions correctly to amass 27 points once again. His encyclopedic knowledge of sports, from football’s global giants to Ghana’s local leagues, left the audience in awe. Torvor’s demeanor—calm yet laser-focused—signaled his intent to defend his title with unrelenting determination.
As the second round began, Torvor elevated his game to new heights. Flawlessly navigating the main questions, he claimed all 12 available points, bringing his total to an untouchable 39.
His performance was a masterclass in precision, blending quick thinking with an almost instinctive recall of facts. The studio erupted as the final scores were announced, and Torvor’s victory was sealed.
General Manager Ahumaa Daddy Bosco Ocansey, beaming with pride, presented him with a gleaming 32-inch television set and a branded Ahotor 92.3FM jersey.
Caleb Laryea, the fiery debutant who had set the tone for the evening, held his own with remarkable poise. Matching his semi-final performance, he scored 21 points in the first round, showcasing a breadth of knowledge that belied his newcomer status.
In the second round, Caleb tackled three of four main questions correctly, earning 9 points for a total of 30. His runner-up finish was a testament to his potential, and as Selasi, Head of Human Resources at AhotorFM, handed him a sleek new kettle and a branded jersey in prizes.
Isaac Botwe of Gbetsele, though finishing third, left an indelible mark on the competition. His journey to the finale had been one of grit and determination, and while his 12 points across both rounds reflected a tougher day, his sportsmanship shone through.
Head of Sports Hadji Mustapha presented Isaac with a brand-new electric iron and a branded AhotorFM jersey, commending his effort.
