Ghana’s Amputee National Team, the Black Challenge, paid a visit to the Minister of Youth and Sports, Hon. Mustapha Ussif, on June 14 to present the 2024 Amputee African Cup of Nations trophy they won in Egypt.
The team was led by the President of the National Paralympic Committee, Mr. Samson Deen.
During the meeting at his office, Minister Mustapha Ussif received the trophies won by the Black Challenge in their AAFCON 2024 mission in Egypt. However, he expressed his displeasure with the management of the Ghana Amputee Football team for accepting donations from external entities before meeting with him.
The sports minister emphasized that the team represents the state and requested a full account of all donations received.
The Black Challenge of Ghana defeated Morocco in the final to win the Amputee AFCON title for the second time in a row.
