The newly appointed Director-General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, held his first meeting with staff at the NSA head office in Accra on Friday, March 14, 2025.
The meeting served as an opportunity for Mr. Ankrah to familiarise himself with the staff and outline his vision for the authority.
Appointed by President John Dramani Mahama on March 13, 2025, Mr. Ankrah takes over from Seth Panwum Boyoyo, who had led the NSA since October 2021.
The NSA is tasked with promoting and developing both amateur and professional sports in Ghana while encouraging mass participation.
The authority is also responsible for organising and financially supporting Ghanaian athletes’ participation in competitions at the district, regional, national, and international levels.
Additionally, the NSA ensures insurance coverage for athletes and officials representing Ghana, protecting them against sports-related risks. The authority also provides sports instructors to individuals, teams, or organizations in need of professional guidance.
