Nii Adotey Dzata l, President of Ghana Kickboxing Association
According to Nmai, Ghana has been accredited and affiliated to the Africa and International Muay Thai Federation, and they
are going to formalize their registration by duly informing the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the Ghana Olympic
Committee (GOC).
Isaac Doku who was one of the technical men with the team in Morocco said Ghana has the potential and wished the
government had supported their participation like other countries who were represented with ten or more fighters seemed
to be by their countries. He noted that the cold weather affected them somewhat, but that is not an excuse.
Nii Adotey Dzata l, President of the Ghana Kickboxing Association told African Sports Monthly, he supports Muay Thai as it
has provisional status to become an Olympic sport, and urged all lovers of the sport to contribute to its promotion and
development.
He commended Lawrence Nmai and the Pro Fighters Factory Ghana team for putting Ghana on the map of African Muay
Thai.
The countries that participated were Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, Senegal, Gabon, Nigeria, Togo, Tunisia, Mauritius, Cameroun,
Madagascar, Ghana, Libya, Benin and Cote d voire.
