Ghana’s athletes have received new phones ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.

This year’s Olympics will take place in the French capital from July 26 to August 11, with over 10,000 athletes set to compete in multiple sports disciplines.

Nine athletes will represent Ghana at the Olympics, and each athlete has received a new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 phone.

Samsung, an official partner of this year’s Olympics, is providing each participating athlete with a handset. Para-athletes will receive their phones when the Paralympics commence on Wednesday, August 28.

Ghana will be represented at this year’s Olympics by high jumper Rose Yeboah, swimmers Harry Stacey and Joselle Mensah, and members of the Men’s Relay Team.

The Men’s Relay Team is headlined by Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Paul Amoah, Isaac Botsio, and Fuseini Ibrahim, with Abdul-Rasheed Saminu as a backup. Amoah will be Ghana’s flagbearer at the opening ceremony.

In an interview with Channel One Sports, Deputy Director of Communications at the Ghana Olympic Committee, Benjamin Willie Graham, stated that Ghana’s athletes are calm ahead of the Games.
