    The Ghana Weightlifting Federation (GWF) have officially launched preparations for the upcoming 2025 African Youth and Junior Weightlifting Championship with a media event held today, July 8, 2025, at the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) Boardroom in Accra.

    The championship, which will take place at the Ga Mashie Hall of the Trust Sports Emporium in Accra, is expected to attract over 300 athletes and officials from more than 20 African countries.

    It is set to be one of the continent’s top youth sporting events, providing young lifters with a stage to showcase their strength and dedication.

    Speaking at the launch, GWF President and Weija-Gbawe MP, Jerry Ahmed, expressed his pride at Ghana’s selection to host the prestigious competition and reaffirmed the Federation’s commitment to delivering a world-class event.

    He acknowledged that preparations were initially slowed due to national activities and an election-related impasse but assured the gathering that work has continued steadily behind the scenes.

    Ahmed revealed that the Federation has already secured key partnerships. He also highlighted support from the Weightlifting Federation of Africa, which has contributed $15,000 towards the organisation of the event.

    However, he stressed that at least GH¢700,000 in additional funding will be required and appealed to both public and private institutions for sponsorship to ensure the championship’s success.

    The launch was attended by sports authorities, federation officials, athletes, and members of the media, who were briefed on the objectives, schedule, and broader vision of the event.

    The GWF hopes to use the championship to deepen local interest in weightlifting, promote youth sports development, and showcase Ghana’s capacity to host major international competitions successfully.

    With confirmed participation from weightlifting powerhouses like Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and the host nation Ghana, the 2025 African Youth and Junior Weightlifting Championship promises to be a landmark moment for African youth sports.
