Ghana has been confirmed as the host nation for the 15th Africa Armwrestling Championship, scheduled to take place from April 29 to May 3, 2026, in Accra.
The announcement was made by the Armwrestling Federation of Africa (AFA), which noted that the championship has been moved from its traditional July window. The revised dates will allow the tournament to serve as the official qualifier for the 2027 African Games armwrestling competition.
AFA Secretary, Julien Boumsong, confirmed the decision and called on all member countries to begin preparations for what is expected to be a highly competitive continental event.
Charles Osei Asibey, President of the Ghana Armwrestling Federation, President of the Armwrestling Federation of Africa, and Vice President of the World Armwrestling Federation, expressed confidence in Ghana’s readiness to deliver a successful championship.
“We are doing everything possible to make sure this championship will be a very wonderful event. As hosts, Ghana is ready to showcase not only its organizational capacity but also the best of African armwrestling to the world,” he said.
Further details regarding registration, competition rules, and accommodation arrangements for the 15th Africa Armwrestling Championship are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
