Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams has formally tabled the Sports Fund Bill in Parliament to improve funding for all sporting disciplines in Ghana.
For years, Ghanaian athletes have struggled to compete internationally due to insufficient funding. Adams believes this bill will provide a sustainable solution, benefiting federations, associations, and athletes nationwide.
Adams emphasized that the fund will accelerate the development of sports beyond football. He highlighted that the lack of resources has consistently hindered progress in many disciplines.
The financial sources to the fund include Parliamentary allocations, sports lotteries, sports betting levies, gate proceeds, athlete transfer fees, sponsorships, grants, international federations' support and more.
Adams argued that approval of the bill will eliminate recurring funding problems and promote growth across all sports.
“When approved, we will not have the challenges of funding our sports, and sports will grow to bring about development and support other progressive activities that we do in this country,” he said.
