The Ghana Sports Fund convened a meeting with sports federations and administrators on Friday, 13 November, at the Ship House in Accra to discuss the implementation of the Sports Fund Act 1159. The Act, set to be formally inaugurated on 10 December 2026, aims to promote and sustain sports development and use sport as a tool for broader national development.
The discussions centered around the purpose and application of the Fund, welfare support, monitoring and accountability, redress procedures, and other related provisions. Administrator Dr David Kofi Wuaku emphasized the Fund's eligibility criteria for athletes, clubs, and federations to apply for support, with priority given to the most relevant events.
Minister Kofi Adams encouraged sports administrators and federation representatives to contribute to building an effective institution, drawing parallels with the Ghana Education Trust Fund's early challenges. GOC President Richard Akpokavie urged close collaboration between the Fund's administration, sports federations, and athletes to ensure assistance reaches those in need, highlighting the financial demands of major international competitions.
The upcoming inauguration at the University of Professional Studies, Accra, will be attended by President Mahama, Speaker Bagbin, and Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
