The President of Ghana Athletics, Bawa Fuseini, has admitted that the country has not supported the preparations of Ghana’s contingent for the 2025 World Relays in China.
But he claims they do not lack motivation knowing what is at stake for them, including qualifying for this year’s World Championships.
“The athletes themselves want to qualify for the World Championship. Once they’ve gotten into the first eight, there’s prize money at stake,” Fuseini told Joy Sports.
“Even though we’ve not given them the best preparation we could have given them, they are still also in school, training with the school team, and getting support from the school team.
“It’s difficult to say, but in terms of preparatory support, it has been minimal. What we do is get them [Team Ghana] tickets and accommodation that will make them comfortable at the competition.”

The World Relays is scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday in Guangzhou, China.
