As the University of Ghana prepares to host the Games Village for the upcoming 13th African Games, significant renovations are underway to enhance the stadium’s facilities. Notable improvements include upgraded tracks for athletics and the construction of a new rugby field.

The University has invested in state-of-the-art facilities to cater to the needs of over 5,000 athletes and officials participating in the Games. Modern accommodations and dining options have been set up to ensure a comfortable experience for all participants.

Madam Joyce Datsa, a member of the Local Organizing Committee overseeing Accommodations, expressed confidence in the smooth progress of preparations, emphasizing Ghana’s commitment to delivering one of the best Games.

Legon will not only provide a top-notch residential experience but also serve as a central transportation hub connecting the Games Village to various event venues. Mr. Samson Deen assured that comprehensive coordination with security and traffic officers has been arranged to guarantee seamless and safe movement during the Sports Festival.

The Borteyman Sports site, a key venue for the African Games, boasts modern sports infrastructure, including a sports hall for indoor games, tennis courts, and a swimming pool. This reflects Ghana’s dedication to hosting a world-class sporting event.

Mr. Ernest Danso, the Chef du Mission, revealed that Ghana is gearing up to present a substantial contingent of over 500 athletes and officials competing across 25 events.

The 13th edition of the African Games promises fifteen days of thrilling competitions, featuring elite athletes and coaches from fifty-five African countries participating in twenty-nine sports. With over 3,000 technical officers, journalists, and global celebrities, the event is expected to reach a TV and online audience of over 5.5 billion. Importantly, the African Games will serve as an official qualifier for some disciplines for the XXXIII Olympic Games Paris 2024.
