\n

The Ghana Armwrestling Federation’s dream of having a state-of-the-art training center and office for Africa Armwrestling is finally within reach.<\/p>\n

In a historic meeting at the Jubilee House, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo reaffirmed the government\u2019s commitment to supporting the growth of Armwrestling in Ghana and Africa. He tasked the sports minister to give every necessary support to the Armwrestling federation because they had worked hard to raise the flag of Ghana high.<\/p>\n

The Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, in response, announced plans to establish a state-of-the-art training center and office for the Africa Armwrestling Federation.<\/p>\n

“We’re committed to supporting the sport’s development because Armwrestling has shown tremendous growth and potential in Africa and beyond, which also greatly impacted Ghana\u2019s performance at the just-ended African Games,” Minister Ussif said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have already directed the National Sports Authority to give Armwrestling a place for the office of the confederation, and as for the training center, we will make Borteyman Sports Complex available to Ghana Armwrestling and all federations that need the place for training or hosting national and international competitions,\u201d he further said.<\/p>\n

The Minister also mentioned that under his leadership, three Ghanaians have ascended to continental leadership positions: Mr. Herbert Mensah of Rugby Africa, Mr. Samson Deen of the Africa Paralympic Committee, and Mr. Charles Osei Asibey of the Africa Armwrestling Federation.<\/p>\n

He also challenged the Ghana Armwrestling President to use his influence on the global stage to ensure a quick transition to making Armwrestling an Olympic sport.<\/p>\n

President of the Ghana and Africa Armwrestling Federation, Mr. Charles Osei Asibey, said, \u201cThis is a game-changer for Armwrestling in Ghana and Africa. We’ll work tirelessly to ensure the sport’s continued growth.”<\/p>\n

President Osei Asibey expressed gratitude for the government\u2019s assurances, highlighting the federation\u2019s achievements, including a total international medal haul of 350.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
