“Beyond the prowess they demonstrated in their respective disciplines, in four disciplines in particular, our athletes excelled.”
“I say “Ayekoo ” to the entire Team Ghana, athletes and technical staff alike, on behalf of the Diplomatic Mission of the Republic of Ghana to the UAE. We are proud of you!”
“I wish you the very best in your individual careers and I thank you on behalf of the young athletes you have inspired by your achievements”
