The Paris 2024 Olympics kicked off on July 26th with a spectacular opening ceremony that celebrated the rich cultural heritage of participating nations.
Among the standout moments was the entrance of Team Ghana, who captivated the audience with their vibrant and unique traditional attire, making a powerful statement of national pride and cultural identity.
Leading the team of seven athletes was Joseph Paul Amoah, proudly carrying the Ghanaian flag. The athletes donned brightly coloured smocks known as "fugu," a traditional garment worn by the people of the Northern Region of Ghana.
This striking choice of clothing not only highlighted Ghana's cultural heritage but also brought a splash of colour and vibrancy to the global stage.
Ghana will be represented by eight athletes in this year's Olympics, competing in events such as the high jump and swimming.
