At the launch of the event, Tito Gaudenzi, President and Founder of Lifestyle Companies, organizers said it will be the first time the championship is being staged in Africa after notable cities such as Miami, Dubai, St. Moritz, Berlin, Kitzbuhel and Cap Cana. “We could not have picked a better place such as Ghana.

He said his outfit remains committed to bringing down international top teams and players to compete in the event, the first of its kind on the continent. Gaudenzi mentioned teams penciled for participation as hosts Ghana, Nigeria, Germany, United States of America, Brazil and Mexico. “We can now safely say that we have all components in place to hold this event.
