Bawah Fuseini, President of the Ghana Athletics, has been awarded the prestigious title of Best Leader of the Year by the Confederation of African Athletics, CAA. This recognition is a testament to his outstanding leadership and contributions to the development of athletics in Ghana and Africa as a whole.
The awards held over the weekend brought together international athletes, coaches, and officials to celebrate outstanding achievements and contributions to the sport.
In March 2024, Ghana played host to the 13th Africa Games, which saw the athletics events steal the show. The competitions were widely praised for their exceptional organisation, attendance, and public enthusiasm. The stadium was packed, creating an electric atmosphere reminiscent of major international sporting events. Fuseini’s leadership played a pivotal role in this success, earning him widespread acclaim.
The Confederation of African Athletics has also granted the Ghana Athletics the privilege of hosting the 24th African Athletics Championships in 2026. This is a significant honour and a vote of confidence in Ghana’s ability to stage high-profile international athletics events.
Fuseini’s award is a well-deserved recognition of his tireless efforts to promote athletics in Ghana and beyond. His leadership as the president of the Confederation of African Athletics Region 2 has been instrumental in raising the profile of African athletics, and his commitment to developing the sport has inspired a new generation of athletes.
