The unique opportunity offered us to host and organize the 13th African Games, Accra 2023 in Ghana, will continue the tradition established in 1965 in Congo Brazzaville with the first All- African Games.
I would like to pay glowing tribute to the nations that have kept the tradition going for all these years.
Ghana, as a founding member of the Games, has participated in all previous ones. I believe the time is overdue for Ghana to play host to the rest of Africa in 2023.
On behalf of the Government and the People of Ghana, I would like to assure the African Union Commission (AUC), the African Union Sport Council (AUSC), the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA), and indeed the whole of Africa that Ghana is ready, willing and more than capable to host and organize a very successful and memorable Games, come 2023. To this end, I would like to thank the right owners as well as the organizers of the event for favorably considering Ghana’s candidature to host and organize the 2023 African Games.
I strongly believe that the African Games remain one of the flagship continental events that has shaped the norms of Africans through the positive values of sports such as tolerance, honesty, fair play, peaceful coexistence, adherence to the rule of law and the commitment to build peaceful and democratic societies.
A Continental Sporting Event of this size cannot be organized without the support of institutions, sponsors and individuals. My Ministry shall therefore collaborate with all relevant stakeholders and individuals even as we seek to deliver a very unique, successful and memorable re-branded 13th African Games.
