Minister for Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, has stated that he anticipates a global audience of more than five billion people to watch the 2023 Africa Games.
The multisport event is scheduled to be hosted in Accra, Ghana, from March 8 to 23, 2024. Facilities at the Borteyman Sports Complex and the University of Ghana Stadium are expected to be handed over for the event in December.
Ussif mentioned during a session in Parliament that a partnership with the Olympic Channel is expected to attract this large global audience to watch the games.
“We are expecting over five thousand athletes, three thousand officials, two thousand volunteers and spectators in thousands.
“In terms of online and global viewing, we are expecting more than 5 billion because we are partnering with the Olympic channel as one of the media partners.”
