The 13th edition of the African Games will be held in Ghana in August this year, with the continental showpiece so far taking place in three cities.
The Games were held due to a dispute between the African Union (AU), the Association of African National Olympic Committees (ANOCA) and the Association of African Sports Confederations (AASC) over marketing rights.
However, LOC Chairman Dr. Kwaku Ofosu-Asare said the impasse has now been resolved after a meeting held in Addis Ababa.
He explained that the competition will still keep Accra 2023 as its name, adding that a new start date will be announced soon.
“The name will be the same. Tokyo 2020 ends in 2021 so we will still keep the name “he told the press,” Dr. Ofosu-Asare said.
“And there is no definite day yet, but soon you will know that in 2024 you will know and it will not be too long.”
Meanwhile, preparations for the 2023 African Games have so far been slow, raising concerns about whether the country is ready to host.
