The 13th African Games, also known as Accra 2023, were hosted by Ghana from 8–23 March 2024.[1] Despite having Accra as the main host city, the games were held in two sub-host cities:[2] Kumasi and Cape Coast.[3][4] The games were initially planned to be held in August 2023, however a failure to complete facilities on time and arguments over marketing revenue resulted in the games being delayed to March 2024.[5][6]
