Team Ghana has selected Tahiru Haruna and Frema Agyei to carry the nation’s highest ceremonial honours at the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Para Powerlifting star Haruna has been named Ghana’s King’s Baton Bearer, becoming a symbol of resilience, determination and the growing recognition of Para sport within Ghana’s sporting landscape.
His selection underscores the nation’s commitment to equal opportunity, ensuring that athletes with disabilities continue to stand proudly at the forefront of Ghana’s international sporting journey.
Joining him is 17-year-old judo sensation Frema, who has been chosen as Team Ghana’s Flag Bearer.
The young gold medallist represents a new generation of Ghanaian athletes whose discipline, talent and ambition embody the country’s vision of building champions for the future.
The appointments send a powerful message that Ghana’s sports development agenda is centred on merit, inclusion and investment in young people.
They also reflect Government’s determination, through the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, to strengthen national unity by giving every talented athlete the opportunity to represent the country with pride on the global stage.
