The website was established in March, 2012, to cater for the growing need to provide quality coverage of Ghana sports with particular emphasis on less funded sports.
The site seeks to bridge the gap in coverage of Ghana sports by providing documentaries, stories and features on the general issues affecting sports and creating role models for the youth.
Its most recent project involved partnering Ethiopian Airlines to organise the first ever Ghana athlete of the year award dubbed, ‘Liquid Sports Ghana Athlete of the Year Award which was won by Ghanaian athletes John Ampomah and Janet Amponsah.
