Ghana unveils world Armwrestling championship squad, appeals for travel support

The Ghana Armwrestling Federation has announced a strong squad for the upcoming World Armwrestling Championship set to take place in New Delhi, India. The team, comprised of the country's top-armwrestlers, is preparing to showcase their skills and bring home medals. The Federation is reaching out to corporate Ghana, government bodies, philanthropists, and sports enthusiasts for essential travel support.

The squad features world-renown athletes such as Mabel Yeboah in the 60kg category, Blessed Abeka Nunoo in the 65kg category, and Grace Minta in the 89kg category. The women's team includes Florence Boakye and Afia Kumah in the 110+kg category, while Comfort Dunyo in the 60kg category competes in women's division. The men's squad comprises Edward Asamoah Yamoah, Haruna Tahiru, Godwin Sackey, Daniel Acquah, Charles Osei Asibey Jr., Henry Otoo, and Asinu Dodzie.

These athletes will bring their strength, experience, and competitive spirit to the global stage. Ghana's rise in armwrestling is noteworthy, with the nation's athletes consistently proving their mettle against the world’s best. However, despite their preparations, the team faces a financial challenge to secure travel and participation.

The Federation is, therefore, calling on corporate entities, government institutions, sports enthusiasts, and individuals to support the team. Such support would not only aid the athletes but also help enhance Ghana's image in international sports.
