The National Paralympic Committee of Ghana (NPC Ghana) has announced the departure of Para Powerlifting athlete Tahiru Haruna and coach Prince Nyarko to represent Ghana at the 2026 Commonwealth Games GAP Training Camp in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

The team departed from Kotoka International Airport on Wednesday and is expected to return on 29th March 2026 after completing an intensive training and competition programme designed to prepare athletes for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.

This prestigious camp, organized under Commonwealth Sport in collaboration with Stellenbosch University, brings together elite para athletes, coaches, and officials from across Africa.

It forms a key part of preparations toward the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Tahiru Haruna, who has already qualified to represent Ghana at the Games, will benefit from high-performance training sessions scheduled from 20th to 26th March 2026, followed by a competitive phase from 27th to 28th March 2026.

These sessions will enhance his technical readiness, strength conditioning, and competitive exposure ahead of the global event.

The successful participation of Team Ghana in this camp has been made possible through the strong collaboration between NPC Ghana and the Ghana Olympic Committee.

As a member of the Commonwealth Games Federation, the Ghana Olympic Committee played a vital role in securing Ghana’s slot for para athletes at this important preparatory camp.

Participants will be hosted in Stellenbosch, where training, accommodation, and welfare support -including medical and safeguarding services - have been arranged to ensure optimal athlete performance and well-being.

NPC Ghana extends its heartfelt appreciation to all partners and stakeholders whose contributions have made this opportunity possible.
