The Ghana Tennis Federation (GTF) President, Isaac Aboagye Duah, has been elected unopposed to two significant roles in the world of tennis: West Africa Zone President and Vice President of Tennis Africa. This election took place at the Annual General Meeting in Luanda, Angola, on November 7, 2026, following the departure of Ing. Ifedayo Akindoju Dayo.

Duah, who has been serving as GTF's chief since 2017, will now lead a 15-nation West African zone. His election opens doors for Ghana to significantly influence continental governance. Duah's tenure emphasizes inclusivity, granting voting rights to players, coaches, officials, and clubs, and establishing an open-door policy for international competitions.

During his leadership, Ghana has consistently performed well in West African junior events for nine consecutive years, excelled in African 12-and-under tournaments, and represented the country in Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup. Duah also serves on Tennis Africa’s African Cup of Nations Sub-Committee.

In his inaugural address, Duah expressed his deep honor at receiving the positions, stating that his leadership philosophy has always been based on inclusion and collaboration. He outlined his vision for unified African tennis, stronger institutions, and enhanced global competitiveness. Duah, a KNUST Chemistry graduate with an EMBA and MA in Leadership, along with CIM-UK Chartered Marketer status, brings academic rigor to the role. The GTF views this achievement as a significant boost for West African tennis development.
