The 2026 Freshers Games organized by the Nursing and Midwifery Students’ Association of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) delivered exactly what it promised—intensity, competition, and school spirit. Held on 31st January 2026 at Maa Joe and starting promptly at 8:00 a.m., the event brought together Nursing 1, Nursing 2, Nursing 3, Nursing 4, and Emergency Nursing in a well-structured series of fixtures.
The tournament opened with Nursing 2 facing Nursing 4, followed by Nursing 1 clashing with Nursing 3. As the games progressed, attention quickly shifted to the Emergency Nursing team, whose performances stood out for discipline, tactical awareness, and physical endurance. Their fixtures against Nursing 2 and Nursing 3 were decisive, demonstrating not just skill but superior teamwork and match control.
The final stages of the competition confirmed what spectators had already sensed: Emergency Nursing were the most consistent and prepared side in the tournament. With solid defense, effective transitions, and clinical finishing, they outplayed their opponents and emerged as the dominant force of the Freshers Games.
At the end of the tournament, Emergency Nursing were officially crowned champions, lifting the trophy amid loud cheers and celebrations from students and supporters. Their victory was not accidental—it reflected preparation, coordination, and a strong competitive mindset.
The 2026 Freshers Games successfully reinforced the importance of sports and unity within the School of Nursing and Midwifery. Beyond the scores and results, the event strengthened inter-year relationships and provided a platform for freshers to integrate into university life. However, the headline remains clear: Emergency Nursing owned the pitch and walked away with the trophy.
