BAG reveals team for AirBadminton title defence

The Badminton Association of Ghana (BAG) has unveiled an eight-member team to represent the host nation at the 2025 African AirBadminton Championships, taking place at Laboma Beach Resort in Accra from 3-6 July.

The squad includes Rachael Quarcoo (Women’s Triple, Mixed Team Relay), Leslie Nii Adote Addo (Men’s Triple, Mixed Team Relay), Ahmad Abdul-Samad (Men’s Triple, Mixed Team Relay), Moslena Ama Korama Adu (Women’s Triple, Mixed Team Relay), Charity Naah (Women’s Triple, Mixed Team Relay), Jennifer Eduam (Women’s Triple, Mixed Team Relay), Ebenezer Korampong (Men’s Triple, Mixed Team Relay), and Brempong Ofori-Acheampong (Men’s Triple, Mixed Team Relay).

Ghana will be looking to retain their continental crown in front of a home crowd as they face off against athletes from 17 other African nations.

Historic moment for Ghanaian badminton

This year marks a major milestone for Ghana, as the country not only hosts its first major international badminton event but also defends its title in one of five global AirBadminton World Series tournaments.

The national team will enter residential training this weekend to fine-tune their skills ahead of the championship, which also serves as a qualifier for the BWF AirBadminton World Cup in the United Arab Emirates (13-16 November 2025).

“Ghana’s biggest year in badminton history”

Evans Yeboah, President of the Badminton Association of Ghana, said: “This is Ghana’s biggest year in badminton history. We’re not just defending our title – we’re preparing to showcase African excellence when the world comes to Ghana this July.”

With Laboma Beach Resort set to welcome athletes and fans from across Africa, the event promises to be a spectacle of skill, speed, and fierce competition.
