Ghana’s capital, Accra, will host the 12th Africa Armwrestling Championship in June 2023, following the official launch of the event on Wednesday.
The event, which will have over 300 pullers from the continent in participation, will come off in June 2023 with the opening ceremony slated for Friday, June 23, 2023, at the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) Hall.
Ghana’s Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports, Hon. Evans Opoku Bobie, commended Charles Osei Asibey and the Ghana Armwrestling Federation for bringing the event back to the West African country after five years.
