Ghana’s minister for Sports and Recreation designate, Kofi Adams, has revealed his plans to prioritize the development of lesser-known sports in Ghana.
Speaking in response to q question on the neglect of other sports in the country during his vetting in Ghana’s Parliament, Hon. Kofi Adams emphasized that the President’s vision to decouple youth from sports at the ministry was to ensure a more focused and efficient administration of both sectors.
“The President in his manifesto saw the need to decouple youth from sports at the ministry. So we will focus more on other sports known as the lesser-known sports,” he stated.
This statement signals a major policy shift that could provide greater attention and resources to sports disciplines that have historically received less support compared to football.
The move is expected to enhance the development of sports such as athletics, boxing, table tennis, hockey, swimming, and Arm-wrestling among others, creating more opportunities for Ghanaian athletes to excel on both the continental and the global stage.
