After concluding the training sessions, the best 50 participants were broken into teams to play out exhibition games for Male and Female participants.
The Iungo World entourage journeys to Kumasi and Tamale to round up its tour of the West African nation; the team is expected to return to Accra from Tamale on March 28 and depart Ghana the next day.
