The Mayor of Accra, Mr Michael Kpakpo Allotey, is set to host the forthcoming West African Bodybuilding Championship on the 24th of April 2026 at the National Theatre.
The fifth edition of the competition will bring together athletes from across the sub-region, including Côte d’Ivoire, Liberia and Nigeria. The event aims to promote fitness, sports development and regional collaboration.
The championship aims to position Ghana as a key player in the bodybuilding and fitness industry, while creating opportunities for young people to adopt healthy lifestyles. It is also expected to attract several high-profile dignitaries, including ambassadors and the Minister for Sports.
Speaking during a courtesy call to officially invite him to the event, the mayor commended the initiative, describing it as a commendable effort to project both Accra and Ghana on the international stage.
He reaffirmed the Accra Metropolitan Assembly’s (AMA) commitment to supporting activities that enhance the city’s global image and promote youth engagement in sports and fitness.
