The event showcased more than twenty sports and recreational activities, attracting enthusiastic participation from athletes, officials, and spectators.
The Duke received a warm reception from the Ghana Bowls Federation, led by its President, Charles Obeng Amofah, who described the visit as a major honour and a significant boost to the development of bowls in Ghana. Prince Edward, already well-versed in the sport, confidently took part in the match, displaying skill and composure that impressed both players and fans.
The occasion drew several high-profile dignitaries, including the Minister for Sports and Recreation, Hon. Kofi Adams, the UK High Commissioner to Ghana, and the Director General of the National Sports Authority, Mr. Yaw Ampofo Ankrah. Their presence underscored the growing collaboration between the UK and Ghana in promoting sports development and cultural exchange.
For many young bowlers, the royal visit was both motivational and memorable, reinforcing the belief that their sport holds great promise and international recognition. Organisers praised the event for advancing community engagement and inclusion, noting that the Duke’s warm interactions with players and officials demonstrated how sport can unite people across cultures and backgrounds.
