Ghana have been handed the hosting rights for the 2023 All Africa Games.
The Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa gave Ghana the nod to host the 13th edition of the continental multi-sport event.
This will be the first time Ghana will be hosting the competition and will join the likes of Congo Brazzaville, Mali, Nigeria, Algeria, Kenya, Egypt, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Mozambique as the only countries to have hosted the event.
Morocco will host the next edition of the competition.
Deputy Sports Minister Hon. Perry Okudzeto weeks ago confirmed Ghana’s decision to bid for the competition.
“We are putting things in place to bid for the 2023 All Africa Games competition,” the minister spoke to the media.
“We have already submitted our request and hope it will be granted.
“We believe we have the capacity to host the All Africa Games having been able to host several other competitions such as the Cup of Nations and the rest.”
Egypt remains the most successful country in the All-Africa Games having won 1362 medals in total.
