President John Mahama has reiterated his commitment to establish a School Sports Authority as part of efforts to revamp Ghana’s grassroots sports in the country.
Speaking during his State of the Nation Address in Parliament, on Thursday, February 27, 2025, the President emphasized the need to reposition youth sports development in the country.
“Recognising the critical role of youth development, we’re implementing a significant overhaul of grassroots sports with the establishment of the School Sports Authority,” he stated.
He added, “This body will oversee structured inter-school competitions and talent identification initiatives essential for nurturing future sporting champions.”
President Mahama highlighted that over 60% of Ghana’s elite athletes have emerged from school sports programmes, reinforcing the need for a structured system to identify and develop budding talents in the sector.
The move is expected to improve funding for competitions, infrastructure and other things that will aid the progress of young athletes across the country’s schools.
