“The championship would bring lots of benefits to the country in terms of boosting our economy, and I got the notice that we are expecting about 2000 people across Africa to participate and all these people are going to be accommodated and it would serve as a boost to our hospitality industry,” he added.  

Mr. Bobie noted that the Ministry of Youth and Sports together with other stakeholders would do their best for Ghana to host a historic competition by providing the needed support to the team.

“We believe with the setup that we already have, the structures by the association with support from the National Sports Authority and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, we will be able to help once again to deliver a very prestigious competition on our soil, ” he said. 

Mr. Charles Osei Asibey, president of Ghana Armwrestling Federation and Armwrestling Federation of Africa also thanked all stakeholders who had supported the growth of the sport both in Ghana and on the continent.
