Abdul Wahab Musah is championing the cause for Africa to readily benefit from the Tokyo Olympic games in 2020.

Wahab, who was a former director of FIFA Football for hope centre in Ghana, is currently a research fellow at the Tsukuba International Academy of Sport Studies (TIAS) in Japan.

TIAS is training 18 young scholars from around the world as a legacy for the Tokyo Olympic games to be held in 2020.

Wahab, who is specializing in sports for development, is currently part of a research team in Kenya to mobilize support for the Olympic games and partner with government and sport for development organizations in Kenya.

This is part of an ongoing effort from Japan to leave a legacy of the Tokyo Olympic far beyond the border of Japan.

The 2012 Olympics in London left many legacies to Africa. One of which is a huge Sports complex built in Zambia.

“Being a Ghanaian, it is my wish that such edifices will be built in Ghana as part of the legacy of Tokyo 2020,” Wahab said

“This will not only identify and nurture sporting talents at the grassroot level but will also guide the youth about the need to combine sports with education and imbibe the spirit of volunteerism on our youth.”
