<p>This was announced by the Local Organising Committee (LOC) at a press conference held at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday.</p>

<p>The 13th edition of the African Games was to be hosted in Ghana in August this year, with the continental showpiece hitherto expected to take place in three cities.</p>

<div class="embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">The 2023 Africa Games has been postponed to 2024 with no specific dates given, the LOC has announced in a press conference today. The games were scheduled for August 2023 in Accra but Ghana had been struggling to deliver the infrastructure in time for the games. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/JoySports?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#JoySports</a> <a href="https://t.co/zqgZNGab3f">pic.twitter.com/zqgZNGab3f</a></p>&mdash; Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo (@Fentuo_) <a href="https://twitter.com/Fentuo_/status/1628100044975898637?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 21, 2023</a></blockquote>

<p>The Games were held up over disputes between the African Union (AU), the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa (ANOCA) and the Association of African Sports Confederations (AASC) over marketing rights.</p>

<p>However, LOC Chairman Dr. Kwaku Ofosu-Asare said the impasse has now been resolved following a meeting held in Addis Ababa.</p>

<p>He explained that the competition will still maintain Accra 2023 as its name, adding that the new commencement date will soon be announced.</p>

<div class="embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Official: Africa Games postponed to next year. Date next year is still undecided. <a href="https://t.co/wUEqw4WFaW">pic.twitter.com/wUEqw4WFaW</a></p>&mdash; Yaw (@theyawofosu) <a href="https://twitter.com/theyawofosu/status/1628079653264011288?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 21, 2023</a></blockquote>

<p>“<em>The name will be the same. Tokyo 2020 was done in 2021 so we will still maintain the name” he said to the press,”&nbsp;</em>Dr. Ofosu-Asare said.</p>

<p><em>“And there has not been any definite day but very soon you will know if it's 2024 you will know and that will not be too long.”</em></p>

<p>Meanwhile, so far, preparations for the 2023 African Games have been slow, prompting concerns over whether the country is ready to host the Games.</p>
