Yesterday, the Honourable minister Mustapha Usif unveiled the official logo, mascot and website for the 13th African Games, Accra 2023.
The event, dubbed “Kpojiem)” is a Ga word meaning, outdooring, was held at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The logo is the symbol of Africa Unity through Sports. It depicts a sportsperson taking off from Ghana, cruising to victory and carrying the whole of Africa along. The Ministry in collaboration with the LOC settled on ƆKODIƐ – the Eagle, as the mascot. The wisdom behind the mascot is that the eagle symbolises courage, strength, focus and immortality.
Taking the posture of the eagle and success is the only option. Ghana is ready to host and organise a successful games come 2023 in order to leave our footprints in the sands of time and leave a lasting legacy for generations yet unborn.
