Assafuah raises alarm over funding crisis threatening Ghana's International Tennis participation
Vincent Ekow Assafuah raised concerns that Ghana's participation in major international tournaments is under threat. According to Mr. Assafuah, "It is deeply worrying that Ghana's participation in these globally recognised competitions is under threat because of funding challenges."
Inadequate funding could affect Ghana's preparations and participation in the Davis Cup in Kenya in June and the Billie Jean King Cup in Gaborone, Botswana in July. Mr. Assafuah noted that the tournaments represent important opportunities for Ghanaian athletes to gain international exposure while projecting the country's sporting image abroad. He praised Ghana's young tennis talents for continuing to excel internationally despite limited institutional support, noting that talented players are competing in the U-12, U-14, U-16 and U-18 categories.
The Ranking Member warned that failure to urgently address the situation could undermine years of progress made in tennis development across the country.
