With growing support from the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) and collaborations with sponsors, there is optimism for future medal prospects and global recognition.
Upcoming Focus: The goal is to expand the talent pool in both track and field events, further positioning Ghana as a competitor in Africa and beyond.
