The Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) has announced the appointment of Ms. Rafatu Inusah as Chef de Mission (CDM) for Team Ghana at the upcoming Commonwealth Youth Games, set to be held from October 29 to November 4 in Malta and Gozo. This decision highlights Ms Inusah's growing influence in Ghanaian sports, particularly her leadership in rugby development, grassroots sports, athlete development, and sports administration.

Ms Inusah, a member of the GOC board, serves on multiple committees, including the Games and Technical Committee, and the Women’s Commission. As the first woman to lead the Ghana Rugby Football Union (GRFU), she has broken barriers and serves as a role model for women in sports. The Commonwealth Youth Games serve as a crucial platform for young athletes aged 14 to 18 from 74 nations to gain international exposure and experience.
