New Sports Minister Kofi Adams Promises to Bridge Gaps and Reignite Passion for Ghanaian Sports

Kofi Adams, the newly appointed Minister for Sports and Recreation, has emphasized unity and collaboration as the foundation for revitalizing Ghana’s sports industry.

In his inaugural public address, Adams highlighted the unparalleled ability of sports to engage and unite communities.

“The good thing about sports is that it’s the only place where you don’t pay for space,” he noted, pointing to the extensive media attention on sports as an untapped resource to reignite public interest and support.

He called for open communication among stakeholders, warning against the dangers of misinformation in the absence of proper information flow.

“Once you create a void, people tend to fill it, and what they fill it with may not be palatable,” Adams stressed.

As he prepares for vetting, Adams faces key challenges, including guiding the Black Stars through the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Acknowledging the skepticism surrounding his limited experience in sports management, he reaffirmed his dedication to elevating Ghanaian sports and fostering collaboration across the sector. “Unity is very important,” he said, positioning teamwork as the cornerstone of his vision.
