Sports Fund Administrator pledges grassroots development across Ghana

Ghana's Sports Fund Administrator, Dr David Kofi Wuaku, has pledged to champion grassroots sports development throughout the nation. Similarly, Ghana's Ambassador to Hungary and Slovakia, Dr Kwame Ampofo, is actively seeking avenues to connect young Ghanaian footballers with opportunities in Hungary. Both commitments came to light after they were recognized by Peki Paramount Chief Deiga Kwadzo Dei XII for their societal contributions.

Dr Wuaku emphasized the importance of identifying and fostering talent in various communities, be they cities, towns, or villages. "Wherever we identify talent, we must be prepared to nurture and support it," he asserted.

Dr Ampofo revealed plans to enlist the expertise of a Hungarian coach to evaluate local football talent and explore prospects for promising players in the Hungarian city of Budapest. He also hinted at the possibility of local sports personnel pursuing sports administration studies at Hungarian universities. These initiatives, once realized, could provide a pathway for young athletes and sports professionals to gain international exposure, training, and education.

Five other individuals were also honored by the traditional authority for their contributions to society.
