Ghana's 4x100m relay team progressed to the final of the Men's 4x100m relay at the 2023 African Games.

Team Ghana won Heat 2, running a time of 38.67s to emerge as winners, while Team Liberia finished second with 38.86s, and Team Zimbabwe placed third with 39.90s.

Ghana's team includes 200-meter record holder Joseph Paul Amoah, Edwin Gadayi, Hammond Solomon, and sprint star Benjamin Azamati.

Edwin Gadayi started well in the first leg before handing over the baton to Azamati. Azamati closed the gap on the first with amazing pace before handing over to third-leg runner Hammond Solomon, who put Ghana in the lead. Amoah did the job by leaving the pack behind with an outrageous sprint.

Ghana's time was the best in the heat, beating Gambia, who won Heat 1 with a time of 39.33s and Nigeria, who won Heat 3 with 38.70s.

Ghana's men's 4x100m team will aim to claim Ghana's first gold medal in the track events at the Games.

The final is scheduled for today, March 20, 2024, at 18:35 GMT at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
