The Ghana Taekwondo Federation (GTF) holds a prestigious position as the sole governing authority of Taekwondo in Ghana. Taekwondo gained official recognition as a sport in the country in 1978, marking the beginning of a rich and thriving martial arts culture. In 1981, the GTF took a significant step by affiliating itself with World Taekwondo (WT), the global governing body for the sport, thereby establishing a vital link to the international Taekwondo community.
