Mr. Mohammed Sahnoon, President of the Ghana Cycling Association (GFA), expresses optimism regarding the performance of the nation’s top cyclists at the upcoming 13th African Games, hosted in Ghana.

Acknowledging the challenges faced in assembling the best Ghanaian cyclists and selecting appropriate training routes and venues, Mr. Sahnoon remains confident that the team is on track for a successful event.

As the Secretary-General of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC), Mr. Sahnoon believes the cyclists, numbering 20 (12 men and 8 women), will showcase their best, fueled by discipline and patriotism. Limited resources have been supplemented by recent support from the GOC across all disciplines participating in the games.

“We have 20 cyclists for the games. 12 men and 8 women. They are training hard with limited resources augmented recently by GOC support to all disciplines in the games. We are very hopeful to achieve some medals in the upcoming games. At this material time, the games venue at Olebu is yet to be fixed. MOYS and LOC are on it as I understand,” he stated.

The Secretary-General of the GCA, Mr. Mohammed Shabaan, shares this optimism and highlights the collaborative effort with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, which has formed a team to ensure the cycling venue is well-prepared.

Miss Elizabeth Alhassan Gyamfi, media liaison officer of the GCA, commended the commitment of female cyclists to the rigorous training regime. The designated venue for cycling at the Games is Ablekuma Olebu.

Mr. Dennis Moore, PRO of Ghana Cycling, expresses confidence in a successful outcome at the African Games.

Notably, cycling is among the eight disciplines classified at the 13th African Games as a qualifier for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.
