Armwrestling: The 10-year journey of Ghana Armwrestling from a simple table to global glory

GAF established operational structures including the Referees Commission, Coaches Chamber and Athletes Brigade, while training certified national and international referees, technical coaches and administrators to help govern the sport professionally.

In 2016, Armwrestling formally entered Ghana’s national sports calendar when the Ghana Armwrestling Federation (GAF) earned official recognition as the country’s 40th national sporting federation.

As Ghana Armwrestling enters its second decade, the Federation remains committed to expanding high-performance infrastructure, broadening international partnerships and empowering the next generation.
