The country would have excellent facilities for water sports. Plenty of natural waters, rivers and lakes are located in the country and young people there are in great physical condition; however, Ghanaian people usually don’t learn how to swim and they have neither traditions nor trainers or equipment necessary for water polo. But the Hungarian Trade and Cultural Centre in Accra provides a great opportunity to strengthen these relationships. They have been asked by the Ghanaian Swimming Federation to call into being water polo in West Africa. Based on the initiation of HTCC and the African- Hungarian Union, the first pack of equipment (including caps, balls and rulebooks) will arrive at the official opening ceremony of HTCC in January 2014. Well-known Hungarian coaches will arrive in Ghana soon to start training with enthusiastic youth. For this special occasion Tibor Benedek greeted the water polo players of the future in a video message.
