The National Paralympic Committee of Ghana (NPC Ghana) announces that the Ghana Para Athletics team departed from the Accra International Airport on March 22 to participate in the 2026 Commonwealth Games GAP Training Camp and Competition.
The team is made up of two Paralympians, Zinabu Issah and Botsyo Nkegbe, accompanied by their coaches Emmanuel Anum Sowah and Patrick Yaw Obeng.
The team will take part in both a high-performance training camp and an international competition as part of their preparation programme.
This training camp forms part of the Commonwealth GAPS Training Programme, which is designed to support elite athletes from Commonwealth nations in preparation for the 2026 Commonwealth Games to be held in Glasgow, Scotland.
The successful participation of Team Ghana in this programme has been made possible through the strong collaboration between NPC Ghana and the Ghana Olympic Committee, whose partnership continues to create opportunities for Ghanaian para athletes to train and compete at the international level.
The training camp and competition will provide the athletes with high-performance training, technical development, and international competition exposure as they prepare towards the upcoming Commonwealth Games.
The team is expected to return to Ghana on 1st April 2026 after completing the training camp and competition programme.
NPC Ghana wishes the athletes and coaches a successful training tour and competition and looks forward to their safe return and continued success in para athletics.
