Hayford Addai, Ghana’s rising para-athletics star, has departed Accra to compete in the 2026 Rabat World Para Athletics Grand Prix 2026, scheduled for April 22 – 25, 2026 in Rabat.
Addai’s participation in the championship marks his second international outing and forms part of preparations toward the upcoming Commonwealth Games 2026.
The athlete recently gained international attention after clinching gold at the WPA Dubai Grand Prix, underscoring his growing reputation on the global stage.
He was accompanied by coach Ibrahim Aminu Suleman as they sought to refine performance strategies and gain further competitive exposure.
Competing in the T47 100-metre category, Addai aims to improve on his personal best time of 11.09 seconds, a target that reflects his determination to excel at the highest level.
The National Paralympic Committee of Ghana (NPC) expressed appreciation for the continued support from NPC Korea, whose sponsorship has facilitated the athlete’s participation in international competitions.
This championship serves as a crucial preparatory platform ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Addai’s participation highlights Ghana’s growing presence in para-athletics, with expectations high for another strong performance as he competes among the world’s elite athletes.
