The team's impressive track record includes Zinabu Issah, who won two gold medals in Marrakech, Edmund Govina, who clinched one gold medal in Marrakech, and other promising stars.
The team is led by Henry Larbi, Chef de Mission for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games, and Mr Ignatius Elletey, the African Paralympic Committee administrator.
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."
