Samson Deen, Chair of the National Sports Authority’s Resource Mobilisation and Partnership Committee, has announced that the Constituency Games – a proposed nationwide initiative under President John Dramani Mahama's Reset Ghana sports agenda – will bring organised sport and development opportunities to every community in Ghana.
The programme aims to identify and nurture talent from grassroots levels, helping athletes progress to regional and national competitions. Deen said the Games could provide a structured pathway for talented individuals from all over the country, beyond major cities, to participate in organized sport. The initiative has received support from the Office of the President, with the Ministry of Sports and Recreation tasked to coordinate the programme.
Deen emphasized the importance of integrating former national athletes into the programme as coaches, scouts, mentors, and administrators. He also proposed creating a national digital talent database to track athletes' performance, sporting disciplines, educational status, and development history. The Constituency Games could generate economic opportunities for local businesses, while also promoting national cohesion and transparency.
