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\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

Speaking after a two-day institutional training session backed by GCB Bank PLC, Dr Wuaku said the collaboration surpassed expectations.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Dr Wuaku broadened the discussion beyond infrastructure and facilities, emphasising the wider national impact of sports investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cSports development is preventive healthcare. When we invest in sports, medical bills are reduced. But beyond health, sports is wealth creation \u2014 for Ghana and for the continent,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He outlined a vision of Ghana evolving into a regional sports hub capable of attracting international athletes, trainers and investors.<\/p>\n

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,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr Wuaku further called on telecommunications companies, financial institutions, business leaders and high-net-worth individuals to support the initiative.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a global call. Everyone is welcome to support,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
