Glasgow 2026: Ghana stripped of historic Commonwealth relay bronze after Canada wins appeal
Ghana’s men’s 4x100m relay team has been stripped of what would have been a historic bronze medal at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games after Canada successfully overturned its disqualification following a protest.

In a surprising turn of events at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, Ghana's men's 4x100m relay team has been stripped of a bronze medal they were on the verge of winning. This decision followed Canada's successful appeal to overturn their disqualification from the race. Initially, Canada had been positioned second, but they were later disqualified, causing a ripple effect that elevated Nigeria to silver and Ghana to bronze.
The winning time of 38.13 seconds by the Ghanaian quartet, consisting of Joseph Paul Amoah, Ibrahim Fuseini, Barnabas Aggerh, and Benjamin Azamati, would have marked their first Commonwealth Games relay medal since 1974. However, the appeal by Canada has restored the original podium order, with Australia taking gold, Canada reclaiming silver, and Nigeria reclaiming bronze.
Consequently, Ghana has been relegated to fourth place, narrowly missing a significant milestone in their relay history. Despite this setback, the Ghanaian team delivered a commendable performance, clocking a time that stood out against a fiercely competitive field.
