Under the leadership of His Excellency President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Ghana is privileged to host a historic sporting event in the year 2024. As one of the founding members of the African Games, Ghana deems this a great privilege, as it is the first time the nation gets to host such a major sporting event.
The Games will be held in Accra, the nation’s capital.
