Rugby Africa president Herbert Mensah joins ACG advisory board
The appointment is expected to strengthen ACG's links with sports federations across the continent and bring Mensah's experience in sports administration and governance to the platform.
Herbert Mensah, the President of Rugby Africa, has been appointed to the African Collaborations Group (ACG) Advisory Board. The ACG, which aims to advance large-scale sport and entertainment district projects across Africa, hopes that Mensah's appointment will strengthen their connections with sports federations on the continent.
Nicolas Pompigne-Mognard, the Founder and Executive Chairman of ACG, believes that Mensah's leadership in African sports administration has redefined what it can look like. Pompigne-Mognard highlights that Mensah's perspective on integrating sport, governance, infrastructure, and finance is crucial for ACG as they develop bankable sport and entertainment district ecosystems.
The ACG projects that Africa's sports economy will reach $20 billion by 2035, but currently, there is a shortage of integrated district ecosystems to support major developments. Mensah, who is also a member of World Rugby's Executive Board, has extensive experience in African rugby and sports administration.
