A year on from the first event in Ghana, organisers have signed an agreement to help find a host city for the next edition.
The search to find a host city for the next edition of the African Para Games has begun in earnest, a year on from the first event in Ghana.
“In looking to the future, our decision is to host the second edition with an agency that we think has great connections with international federations and a clear understanding of how to organise the Games,” APC president Samson Deen told BBC Sport Africa. “The potential is there. What we need is the energy to create opportunities for athletes. Africa needs to do a lot more.”
The first African Para Games in Accra hosted amputee football, wheelchair basketball and wheelchair tennis – but only the latter two sports are featured at the Paralympics.
