Ghana has secured a major continental tennis leadership role, with Ghana Tennis Federation (GTF) President Isaac Aboagye Duah elected unopposed as West Africa Zone President and Vice President of Tennis Africa. The election occurred at the Annual General Meeting in Luanda, Angola, on November 7, 2026, filling the vacancy left by the late Ing. Ifedayo Akindoju Dayo.
Duah, GTF chief since 2017, now leads a 15-nation West African zone, opening doors for Ghana to shape continental governance. His tenure champions inclusivity granting players, coaches, officials, and clubs voting rights and an open-door policy enabling international competitions.
Under his watch, Ghana has shone in West African junior events for nine years, excelled in African 12-and-under tournaments, and represented in Davis Cup and Billie Jean King Cup. He also serves on Tennis Africa’s African Cup of Nations Sub-Committee.
“I am deeply honoured… My leadership philosophy has always been anchored in inclusion, collaboration,” Duah declared. His vision: united African tennis, stronger institutions, and global competitiveness.
A KNUST Chemistry graduate with an EMBA and MA in Leadership, plus CIM-UK Chartered Marketer status, Duah brings academic rigor to the role. Ghana Tennis Federation celebrates this milestone as a boost for West African tennis development.
