Ghana's contingent at the 2024 Olympic Games will wear 'fugu' for the opening ceremony of the championship.
The team will wear the beautiful handwoven fabric to display and promote the diverse Ghanaian culture during the games.
"We are going to wear our traditional fugu and a black down as well as special footwear," Ghana's media attache, Benjamin Willie Graham, told Joy Sports.
"Also, five athletes from us will be at the opening ceremony because the opening ceremony will be on the river. So five of them will be there to ensure they hoist the flag of Ghana."
The opening ceremony of the Games will be held on Friday, July 26, on the colourful river Seine, making it the first time the procession is being held outside a stadium.
The Seine, the city’s main water artery, will substitute for the traditional track, the quays will become spectator stands, while the setting sun reflecting off famous Parisian landmarks will provide the backdrop for the event.
This outdoor concept also makes Paris 2024 the largest Opening Ceremony in terms of audience and geographical coverage.
