NPC Ghana President Samson Deen Sponsors team Ghana’s Para Powerlifting Team to Russia for the 2026 International Para Powerlifting Competition as part of the National Paralympic Committee of Ghana’s “Target the Podium” Initiative.
The five-member delegation includes athletes Francis Kwaku, Nfodzo Patrick and Obeng Samuel, alongside coaches Toulassi Frank and Oheneadu George.
The Russia competition, taking place 8–9 August 2026, is designed to give the athletes valuable international experience, strengthen their technical and competitive skills, and prepare them for the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games (LA28).
The broader Target the Podium programme aims to move Ghana beyond participation at major competitions by developing athletes capable of challenging for Paralympic medals through sustained international exposure, coaching and preparation.
The message is simple: Ghana is not preparing for LA28 just to participate — Ghana is preparing to compete for the podium.
