Mr. Yaw Sakyi, Chairman of the Marketing and Sponsorship Committee of the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the 13th African Games (Accra 2023) has called on Ghanaian companies to support and sponsor the upcoming continental sports festival from March 6th to 23rd in Accra.
Leading sports journalists to inspect facilities for the Games on Wednesday, he said there are opportunities for businesses to advertise and market their products and services through sports.
He noted that many people love sports in Ghana and there are spaces for bill boards, banners and other electronic advertising opportunities.
Mr. Yaw Sakyi who is a keen Basketball and Boxing enthusiast urged the media to come out with positive news reports and coverages because people are still skeptical about whether the Games would be held in Ghana.
“The 13th African Games is certainly coming on in March, you can see we are ready and putting finishing touches, we are ready to host Africa” he expressed.
Over 5,000 sportsmen and women, coaches and officials from 55 countries are expected to grace the Games to compete in 25 sports disciplines at facilities in Legon, University of Ghana and Borteyman where the 20 journalists inspected a newly constructed sports hall, tennis courts, aquatic center for swimming, tartan track and football field.
Present at the tour was Mr. Dan Kweku Yeboah Chairman of the Media / Publicity Committee and Mr. Maurice Quansah, member of the Committee.
Frederick Marfo is a sportswriter and social worker well known for his advocacy for equal chances and rights for all athletes, especially those with disabilities.
