Team Ghana's Media Attache, Benjamin Willie Graham, has provided an update on Team Ghana's preparations for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
He revealed that, following discussions between the Ghana Olympic Committee and the French Embassy, it has been decided that the team will be stationed in Strasbourg, France, for a fourteen-day training camp.
The sports journalist emphasized that the Ghanaian heritage of Strasbourg's deputy mayor played a crucial role in securing a suitable training location for the team ahead of the games.
Graham announced that the full squad will depart for the Games village on July 21, 2024, to begin their formal preparations.
"The French embassy and the Ghana committee have been in talks over the past few months, and thus, Strasbourg will host our 14-day, three-game camp. It's thrilling that the French embassy has invested €20,000 in the team's game preparations.
"It's important to acknowledge that the deputy mayor of Strasbourg is Ghanaian, which was crucial in ensuring Team Ghana obtained that specific training facility. Therefore, the Ghanaian squad will head to the games village on July 21, 2024, to start the official game preparations," he conveyed in a video shared by JoySports on X.
He mentioned that athletes such as Azamati, Saminu, and Fuseini will join the team in Salzburg to start the preparations.
It is important to note that some members of the team have already traveled to France to begin the training camp.
The nine athletes representing Ghana include; Abdul R. Saminu, Benjamin Azamati, Joseph Paul Amoah, Edwin Gadayi, Joselle Mensah, Isaac Botsio, Fuseini Ibrahim, and Rose Yeboah.
The Paris Olympic Games are scheduled to take place from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
