The Ghana Cycling Federation (GCF) would host Dr. Mohamed Wagih Azzam, the 1st Vice President of the International Cycling Union (UCI), on a three day visit.
Dr. Azzam would be in Ghana from September 11-14, 2018, to supervise the growth of the sport.
A statement from the GCF said Dr. Azzam, who doubles as the President of the Egyptian Cycling Federation, would inspect the progress of preparations towards the upcoming Africa Para Championship, to be held early in December.

Dr. Azzam has been very instrumental in the growth of Ghana cycling and has ensured that the sport was re-admitted into the world body 10 years ago, after its dismemberment some years back.
It is the first time a top official of the body is visiting the country since the inception of the sport.
