Ghana Athletics president expresses concern over readiness for African Athletics Championships

Bawah Fuseini, President of the Ghana Athletics, has raised concerns over preparations for the upcoming 24th Senior Athletics Championship set to be hosted in Accra. He said, "It is the first time in my years as Athletics President that I am worried because of how slowly things are moving."

The five-day event is scheduled to take place at the University of Ghana Stadium. Fuseini says delays in securing government authorisation for the release of funds are affecting final preparations. He added that Kofi Adams, the Minister for Sports, "has been following up and doing all he can to get this passed."

The 24th Senior Athletics Championship is set to run from May 12 to 17, 2026, in Accra. The Athletics Association insists that most logistical arrangements are already in place. They describe the pending authorisation as the final step and assured, "If we receive the authorization today, we can be fully ready by next weekend."
