#JoySports National Dialogue: You're not a national federation if you only operate in Accra - Rex Danquah

In a recent dialogue focused on the future of sports in Ghana, Rex Danquah, the National Sports Authority's Director General, emphasized that true national federations must extend their reach beyond Accra. He argued that genuine representation involves engaging with communities across the country to foster grassroots development in various sports disciplines. Danquah criticized organizations that limit their operations to the capital, suggesting they miss out on tapping into potential talent and resources from other regions.

Highlighting the importance of inclusivity, he stated that for federations to effectively promote sports nationwide, they need to establish networks and programs in every region. This approach would not only enhance participation but also ensure equitable access to training and facilities for aspiring athletes from all walks of life. The dialogue aimed at creating a robust framework for collaboration among federations, ensuring they embrace a more holistic vision that prioritizes sporting excellence throughout Ghana, rather than confining activities solely to urban centers like Accra.
