Ghana Olympic Committee board member, Mr. Kamal Sulley, paid a visit to the Kotoka International Airport on July 23, 2025, to wish Team Ghana well ahead of the maiden African Schools Games in Algeria.
As the athletes prepared to depart for the continent’s premier school sports event, Mr. Sulley offered words of encouragement and advice.
