He expressed that lack of funds is a major problem for local judokas because they can not afford to pay and travel for international competitions. He appealed to the government and corporate Ghana to support judokas in the country.
“We are very good we have the techniques and ideas but no funds so at times the athletes are not motivated and encouraged, we know we can beat our opponents” Coach Dodoo added.
He said Ghana has been represented at the Olympic Games in Judo and it must be continued so that the nation wins a medal.
