In light of ongoing national restructuring efforts, there is a growing demand for the appointment of a technical expert, rather than a political appointee, to lead the National Sports Authority (NSA) of Ghana. Experts argue that a leader with a strong background in sports management would drive sustainable growth, improve infrastructure, and enhance Ghana’s performance in international competitions. This approach aligns with global best practices, where professionally led sports institutions achieve greater success. Advocates propose Prof. Emmanuel Osei Sarpong, an experienced sports professional and manager, as the ideal candidate to spearhead the transformation of Ghana’s sports sector.
