Benjamin Azamati has voiced strong concerns over preparations, after Ghana’s men’s 4x100m relay team secured qualification for a fourth consecutive appearance at the World Athletics Championships.
Ghana produced a spirited performance on the final day of the World Relays to book their ticket, but Azamati says the build-up to the race was far from ideal compared to their competitors.
“We’re competing against guys who’ve been here one to three weeks while we’ve been traveling since Wednesday and arriving a day before on a new continent,” he said on X.
“I get it… I guess we’re magicians. Do better, Sports Ministry!”
To add to that, we’re competing against guys who’ve been here 1–3 weeks while we’ve been traveling since Wednesday and arriving a day before on a new continent.
I get it, I guess we’re magicians.
Do better, Sports Ministry! https://t.co/PtbtM4hMVU— AzaR (@benjaminazamati) May 3, 2026
His comments come after Ghana’s relay quartet overcame earlier setbacks to secure qualification, highlighting both the achievement on the track and frustrations over preparation and logistics off it.
