The team expressed their appreciation to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, The President of NPC Ghana, Mr Samson Deen, and France in Ghana.
"We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who made it possible for us", Patrick Yaw Obeng, team captain said adding "this support has been instrumental in the team's journey to the Paris 2024 WPA Grand Prix."
