Country Manager for Decathlon Ghana, Geoffrey Fadoul, has charged government to invest in infrastructure to boost the country’s quest to nurture young talents.
He made these comments at the sixth anniversary of Decathlon Ghana, the biggest retailers of sports equipment for athletes in the country.
The event took place at the company’s Kawukudi branch and featured various sports activities such as ballet, in-ride workout, rugby league, volley, table tennis, skating, football, basketball and E-sports.
Over 100 people were in attendance and were treated to all the sports activities, culminating in a mega dance aerobics session at the end.
