World Armwrestling Prez (r) with Charles Osei Asibey, Africa Armwrestling Prez<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
President of World Armwrestling Federation (WAF), Assen Hadjitodorov, and his Secretary, Mircea Simionescu-Simicel are expected in Ghana next Wednesday for a working and familiarisation visit.<\/p>\n
While in Ghana, Assen will meet major stakeholders in sports, government officials, inspect facilities and also grace the 12th Africa Armwrestling Championship slated for June 21 to 25 in Accra.<\/p>\n
The WAF President, who has developed some great love and interest for Africa, is keen on impacting the development of armwrestling in Africa and support the Armwrestling Federation of Africa (AFA)\u2019s efforts to host a world-class championship.<\/p>\n
Mr. Assen also has other interest for visiting Ghana. He has been instrumental in armwrestling\u2019s effort to play at the 2023 Africa Games and wishes to engage the Ghana Armwrestling Federation on the preparation.<\/p>\n
He will also discuss Africa\u2019s host of the 2024 World Championship.<\/p>\n
Ghana won the bid to host the Africa Armwrestling Championship for the second time last year and are expected to deliver a successful event following the preparations made so far. The rest of Africa would converge at the GNAT Hall to compete for the top spot with over 20 countries to participate.<\/p>\n
Central Africa Republic, Congo Republic, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, Gabon, Equitorial Guinea and Somalia would be making their first appearance at the competition this year. Armwrestling as a sport has developed both on the African continent and on the world stage, gaining recognition as one of the fastest growing sports.<\/p>\n
The 12th Africa Armwrestling Championship is being organised by the Ghana Armwrestling Federation with technical support from the Armwrestling Federation of Africa (AFA) and the World Armwrestling Federation (WAF).<\/p>\n
