Accra, July 29, GNA – The Korean Government has thrown its weight behind Ghana’s mission to make a strong appearance in taekwondo at the 2026 Youth Olympic Games in Senegal.
Mr Park Kyongsig, the Korean Ambassador to Ghana, said it was an agenda fully supported by his Government as the West African nation had the potential to exploit the optimum benefits of the sport, especially by participating at the highest level.
“We will continue to assist in the development and progress of taekwondo in Ghana,” he affirmed while addressing the closing ceremony of the 14th Korean Ambassador’s Cup Taekwondo Championship, at the Trust Sports Emporium, Accra.
Taekwondo, one of the disciplines of martial arts, has been officially included as one of 25 sports for the Youth Olympic Games.
Its structure is based on the Korean martial art of Hapkido, which is a self-defence system.
