Ghana Swimming Association outdoors LOC for Zone 2 Championships

Ghana has officially inaugurated the Local Organising Committee (LOC) for the upcoming Africa Aquatics Zone 2 Junior and Senior Swimming Championships, set to take place in Accra from October 3 to 5, 2025.

The event will bring together elite swimmers from across the West and Central African sub-region, as Ghana continues to position itself as a key hub for aquatic sports development in the region.

The seven-member LOC is chaired by Dr. Frederick Boamah, with Seth Nti serving as Secretary. Other members include Ayishatu Farida Iddriss, Mohammed Aputeog, Hubert Leo Mensah (representing the National Sports Authority), Elizabeth Addae and Aba Katu.

Speaking at the inauguration, LOC Chair, Dr. Boamah said: “It is both an honour to accept this responsibility on my behalf and on behalf of my other Committee members.

“To be asked to lead is to be asked to serve and we are very much aware of the responsibilities that have been trusted to us. We pledged to do our best.”

The championship is expected to serve as both a high-level competition and a developmental platform for junior and senior swimmers across Zone 2.

It will also allow Ghana to showcase its growing capacity to host international sports events.
