Ghanaian music star Stonebwoy has donated GH₵100,000 to the Black Challenge, Ghana’s national amputee football team, to support the players’ preparations for the 2026 World Amputee Football Federation (WAFF) World Cup in Mexico.
The Bhim Nation president made the donation when he visited the team during a training session at Mensah Sarbah Park on Friday, October 23, 2026, as the reigning African champions intensify preparations for the international competition.
The 2026 WAFF World Cup is scheduled to take place from November 13 to 22 in San Juan de los Lagos, Mexico. Ghana will compete in Group D against Angola, Colombia and Iraq, hoping to make history by winning its first global amputee football championship.
Stonebwoy Supports Black Challenge’s World Cup Ambition
Stonebwoy’s financial contribution comes at a crucial stage of the team’s preparations, with the tournament less than a month away.
The donation is expected to provide additional support for the national team as the players prepare to represent Ghana on the world stage. However, details regarding the specific use of the funds have not been disclosed.
The Black Challenge will enter the competition with an impressive record in African amputee football, having established themselves as one of the continent’s strongest teams.
Ghana’s Black Challenge Builds on African Success
Ghana won the African Amputee Football Cup of Nations (AAFCON) in 2021 before claiming gold at the inaugural African Para Games held in Accra in 2023.
The team further demonstrated its continental dominance by defending its AAFCON title in Cairo in 2024, defeating Morocco 2-1 in the final.
These achievements have strengthened Ghana’s reputation in amputee football and raised expectations ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
Despite their success in Africa, the Black Challenge are still pursuing their first world championship. The tournament in Mexico offers the team another opportunity to turn continental success into global glory.
Ghana’s Historic Contribution to Amputee Football
Ghana has also played an important role in the professional development of amputee football. In 2011, members of the Black Challenge became the first amputee football professionals in the world after signing contracts to play in the Turkish Amputee League.
The milestone opened new opportunities for professional amputee footballers and highlighted Ghana’s contribution to the international growth of the sport.
As the November tournament approaches, the Black Challenge will rely on their experience, preparation and support to navigate the group stage and compete for the championship.
Stonebwoy’s GH₵100,000 donation provides an additional boost as Ghana pursues a historic first World Amputee Football World Cup title.
