While he is the third Ghanaian to officiate at the World Aquatics Championships, Asaah becomes the first ever to be appointed for both the Elite and Masters competitions at the global event.
The appointment is being hailed as a significant boost for Ghanaian swimming, as it represents administrative and technical progress on the world stage.
