Ghana’s 4x100m relay team finished in fourth place at the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo on September 21, 2025.

The team ran a time of 37.93 seconds, falling short of their three leading opponents and missing out on a podium finish.

The United States of America won gold with a time of 37.29 seconds, Canada claimed silver after clocking 37.55 seconds, while the Netherlands secured bronze with 37.82 seconds.

Joseph Paul Amoah, Benjamin Azamati, Ubrahim Fuseini, and Rasheed Saminu competed in the race with hopes of winning Ghana’s maiden medal in the event, but that ambition did not materialise.

Despite the disappointing result, the 4x100m relay team showed significant improvement by setting a new national record—one of the best times on the African continent.

The major hurdle of baton exchanges has now been resolved by the team, and they will be aiming for a podium finish in their next athletics meet.

This result means Team Ghana did not win a single medal at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, despite the commendable efforts of the athletes and coaches who represented the country.
