The National Sports Authority (NSA) is ramping up efforts to enhance Ghana’s sports infrastructure through the development of standard pitches and the upgrading of sporting facilities nationwide.
Speaking on Atinka TV’s sports programme Kick Off, the NSA’s Chief Operating Officer, Yaw Kusi Gyemfi-Awere, emphasized the authority’s critical role in overseeing and maintaining sports facilities across the country.
He explained that the NSA’s mandate extends beyond managing national stadiums to include hockey pitches and various other sporting installations, ensuring they align with both national and international requirements.
According to Gyemfi-Awere, improving access to quality sports infrastructure is central to the NSA’s mission. This includes supporting athletes, sports clubs, and communities with facilities that meet standardized specifications, ultimately fostering talent development and increasing nationwide participation in sports.
He further highlighted that consistent monitoring and supervision remain key to maintaining high-quality facilities, a factor he believes will significantly strengthen Ghana’s performance in regional and international competitions.
