The Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the 2023 Africa Games, has called on Ghanaians to embrace the event and contribute their quota to make it a successful event.

Speaking during a Christmas carnival in Takoradi, Chairman of the Committee, Dr Ofosu-Asare described the event as the biggest festival on the continent, and called on Ghanaians to be a part of it.

“The African Games is the biggest sports festival on the continent and there is the need for Ghanaians to get themselves ready.

“The people of Ghana must be ready to host rest of the continent. Businesses must be ready to embrace the opportunities that comes with the hosting and organisation of the games," he said.

The LOC joined about 30 masquerade groups to march through the principal streets of Takoradi during the Christmas season, as they continued their efforts to create awareness and interest in the event.

The African Games 2023, will start on March 8, 2024.
