Mr. Isaac Duah, the Chef de Mission for Team Ghana at the upcoming Paris 2024 Olympic Games, has revealed that as of now, no Ghanaian athlete has successfully qualified. However, he expressed confidence that some athletes will have the opportunity to secure qualification during the 13th African Games.

Addressing journalists at the Accra Sports Stadium, Mr. Duah shared that the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) is optimistic about the chances of athletes making the cut in eight disciplines, including athletics, badminton, cycling, tennis, table tennis, triathlon, swimming, and wrestling, during the upcoming African Games.

Highlighting the importance of support, he urged Ghanaians to rally behind the Black Queens, especially since their male counterparts, the Black Meteors, faced challenges in advancing. Mr. Duah mentioned that the GOC has already established training camps in Strasbourg for Team Ghana and is ready to accommodate qualifiers.

Affectionately known as ‘Abe,’ Mr. Duah remained hopeful that Ghana would secure qualifications for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

While acknowledging boxer Samuel Takyi’s bronze medal achievement at the 2020 Olympic Games, where boxing, athletics, judo, swimming, and weightlifting were represented, Mr. Duah pointed out that Takyi is set to lead the squad at the World Boxing Qualifiers. It’s noteworthy that boxing is not a qualification event at the African Games.
