President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, has stated that preparations for the upcoming African Games are “all complete”.

He said this in his State of the Nation Address to Ghana’s Parliament where he highlighted the challenges and triumphs the Local Organizing Committee and Sports Ministry have endured and recorded respectively.

The 13th African Games will take place from March 8 to March 23, with the University of Ghana Stadium and Borteman Sports Complex serving as the primary venues for the competition’s events.

“Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to report that all the preparations are ready for Ghana to welcome sports men and women from around the continent to participate in the 13th edition of the African Games. It seems incredible, but this is the first time that Ghana will be hosting these games.

“It has taken a lot of courage to have persisted with the decision to host the games, especially when our financial problems came in the midst of the preparations. But I am glad we went ahead. The preparations are all complete.”
