Today, on behalf of the Government of Ghana and the Ministry of Sports and Recreation, I had the honour of welcoming our heroes from the University for Development Studies (UDS) back home after their historic triumph at the FISU University Football World Cup in China.
This landmark achievement is the first time an African university has won the prestigious global title. This is a testament to the power of talent, discipline, and determination. It shows that with the right support, our universities and student-athletes can rise to global excellence.
I was joined at the airport by Hon. Alhassan Suhuyini, Deputy Minister for Roads and Highways and a proud alumnus of UDS, as we received the team and celebrated their achievement. In partnership with the Ghana Tourism Authority, we are leading a grand procession through the principal streets of Accra to the Independence Square to give these champions the heroesβ welcome they deserve.
Congratulations once again to UDS for flying Ghanaβs flag high and inspiring the next generation of young athletes. Your victory is a powerful reminder that the future of Ghanaian sport is bright.
