President Charles Osei Asibey of the Ghana Armwrestling Federation (GAF), alongside Godson Kwame Asem and Husseini Akuettteh Addy, led a delegation to Kazakhstan for the Congress where the news was confirmed.

Hosting the 2024 World Armwrestling Championship will amplify the continuous development of the GAF since its establishment. It is also set to leverage the momentum generated by the successful hosting of the recent 2023 Africa Championships to bolster development and expansion.

The World Armwrestling Championship is the highest, biggest and most prestigious Armwrestling event globally organised annually.

It is the convergence of all the best Pullers battling for supremacy and rights.

Over 2,000 athletes, coaches, referees, and spectators come together for this annual festival which has been instituted, sanctioned, and supervised by the World Armwrestling Federation (WAF).
