I haven't seen any specific tag for these centres on the OSM Wiki and since they are endemic to our region we might need to create a new tag for it.

With those you can map them with a combination of <b>amenity</b>=<b>pub/bar </b>+ <b>television</b>=<b>yes</b>. This works for pubs that show live matches/sports. In these cases the POI is primarily a pub or bar.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Will be good to know what others think.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Regards,<br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp355cfc35signature"><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><br></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr">Samuel Darkwah Manu</div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><br></div><div style="font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Associate GIS & Data Analyst</font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">getINNOtized GmbH</font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Accra, Ghana</font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Tel: +233546902013</font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Skype: Sammyhawkrad2<br></font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080">Twitter:<span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);"> <a href="https://www.twitter.com/sammyhawkrad" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@sammyhawkrad</a></span><br></font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="courier new, courier, monaco, monospace, sans-serif" color="#808080"><br></font></div><div style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr"><br></div></div></div></div>
