“In a bid to promote fitness and wellness, the GBFA will also organize an Aerobics Championship as a curtain raiser for the main event. The athletes are expected to arrive in Ghana on April 24, 2025.
Mr. Yartey expressed his heartfelt appreciation to Corporate Ghana for their support and urged Ghanaians to rally behind the team. With its growing popularity and competitive spirit, the West Africa Bodybuilding Championship is set to become a premier event in African sports.
