Blessing Akwasi Afrifah (Hebrew: בלסינג אקווסי אפריפה, born 26 October 2003) is an Israeli track and field athlete who specializes in the sprints.

[3] As a child and teenager, Afrifah studied at Ohel Shem high school in Ramat Gan, Israel.

[2] Next year, at the 2023 European Athletics U23 Championships in Espoo, Finland, Afrifah won the 200 m with a time of 20.67, just 0.01 second ahead of Dutch Raphael Bouju.

"[2] Afrifah represented Israel at the 2024 Paris Olympics in the men's 200 metres at the Stade de France.

[16][17] In 2010, Afrifah was granted permanent residence status, along with his sister and parents, following a government decision to not deport children of foreign workers born in Israel.

[6] At the age of 16, he was granted Israeli citizenship after he appealed to Israel's Minister of the Interior Aryeh Deri.

"[19] As an Israeli citizen and thus conscripted by law upon reaching 18 years of age, Afrifah served in the Israel Defense Forces beginning in 2022.

He served on an army base in Rehovot, in a program limited to elite sportspeople that provides a more flexible service.
