13th African Games Float on Saturday to create awareness

The Local Organising Committee (LOC) of the 13th African Games, dubbed Accra 2023 will organize a float through some principal streets of Accra on Saturday, December 23, 2023.

According to Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Reks Brobby, the activity is part of programs to create awareness and interest in the ‘African Olympics’.

The float will start from the Accra Sports Stadium, through central Accra, Adabraka, Osu Oxford Streets and end at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Some popular artistes, sports men and women, who excelled at the previous Africa Games, administrators, media and athletes, are expected to join the float.

There would be mini competitions in Armwrestling, Table Tennis and Darts  to promote and raise awareness.

High-profile personalities from the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Sporting Federations Heads, and government officials would be joined by the popular ‘Di Asa’ ladies as they thrill and educate the populace about the need to patronise the games.

While patrons enjoy the brass band, they will also enjoy the distribution of souvenirs and others.
