While all the women selected will represent the nation at the African Games, the men’s team will pick only five making the final cut.
The 13th African Games is a qualifying platform for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Menson remains optimistic about Ghana’s prospects, despite big names like Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa.
“Ghana used to be one of the best in Africa in the 70s, Egypt and Nigeria took over, and they are really ahead of us, but no matter what, we still have to fight on and make sure that we do our best. I know that once we put certain things in place, we will also get there.”
