The Administrator of the Ghana Sports Fund, Dr David Kofi Wuaku, has described sports development as both a national health intervention and a strategic economic investment capable of transforming Ghana’s future.
Speaking after a two-day institutional training session backed by GCB Bank PLC, Dr Wuaku said the collaboration surpassed expectations.
“They prepared ahead of time to guide us, support us and collaborate with us in a way that aligns with our globalisation drive,” he said.
He explained that the partnership goes beyond conventional financial services, offering advisory support on investment structures, institutional systems and sustainability frameworks designed to position the Fund for long-term growth.
Dr Wuaku broadened the discussion beyond infrastructure and facilities, emphasising the wider national impact of sports investment.
“Sports development is preventive healthcare. When we invest in sports, medical bills are reduced. But beyond health, sports is wealth creation — for Ghana and for the continent,” he stated.
He outlined a vision of Ghana evolving into a regional sports hub capable of attracting international athletes, trainers and investors.
Sports do not limit themselves to Ghana alone. If we build it properly, people will travel from anywhere to train and do professional work here,” he said.
Dr Wuaku further called on telecommunications companies, financial institutions, business leaders and high-net-worth individuals to support the initiative.
“This is a global call. Everyone is welcome to support,” he added.
